How successful has West Virginia football been with official visits?
For as long as I can remember, one of the staples of recruiting at West Virginia has always been if you get them to campus you have a chance. But does the data back that up? How has the West Virginia Mountaineers football program done when it comes to success with official visits during the course of the Neal Brown era?
In the 2021 class, all of those opportunities were shelved due to the safety concerns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. But with things back to normal, we examine how the Mountaineers have done with getting players on campus.
What has been the success rate of players that West Virginia head coach Neal Brown and staff have had on campus for official visits during his brief tenure?
Brown took over mid-way through the 2019 class, so those numbers will be skewed both in the aspect of time to recruit players as well as the number of those they were pursuing. With the largest bulk of the class already in place, which Brown had to re-host and secure without losing any they did host an additional eight players on official visits down that stretch run.
Of those eight, West Virginia was able to sign safety Tae Mayo, defensive lineman Jordan Jefferson, safety Rashean Lynn, offensive lineman John Hughes and safety Noah Guzman. However, wide receiver Darren Wilson (Iowa State), offensive lineman Willie Tyler (Texas) and offensive lineman Darnell Wright (Tennessee) all choose to sign elsewhere.
If you consider the 14 players that were already committed to the program the Mountaineers were able to get back in the fold with an additional visit due to the coaching change with Dana Holgorsen heading to Houston and the program signed a total of 19 of the 22 they had on campus.
But for the sake of this we will only count those new players, so the Mountaineers signed five of the eight.
Related : West Virginia building the roster one room at a time
The class of 2020 was a more accurate depiction of what a typical official visit schedule could look like as the Mountaineers hosted 33 total players for official visits. That included the first sampling of early official visits as the coaches hosted 13 players in the summer over two days from June 14-16.
During that early window, the Mountaineers eventually signed six of those players including defensive end Akheem Mesidor. However, seven elected to go elsewhere with defensive end Quentin Williams (Miami), cornerback Tarheeb Still (Maryland), linebacker Tirek Austin-Cave (Miami), wide receiver Bryce Gowdy (Georgia Tech), defensive end Aaron Lewis (Michigan), wide receiver Kris Draine (Missouri) and offensive lineman Samuel Rengert (Iowa State).
Now, those visits are conducted earlier and there is more risk attached, but even hitting on half, especially when you consider that Lewis initially committed to West Virginia before flipping later, is a good turnout at the early stages of the process.
Of the 20 other prospects that West Virginia hosted for official visits over the rest of the process, the Mountaineers landed a total of 14 of those. The only exceptions were defensive end Simeon Barrow (Michigan State), defensive end Wesley Bailey (Rutgers), cornerback Lakevias Daniel (Mississippi), defensive end Yaya Diaby (Louisville), defensive end Justin Jackson (Colorado), and safety Charles Bell (Marshall). And out of that list, some of those decisions were ultimately made by West Virginia.
During the 2021 class, there were no official visits permitted, but the Mountaineers continued to show their success when they were able to get players on campus. Out of the 16 commitments, a total of 12 of them visited for some type of junior day or activity during their recruitment.
In the 2022 class, the numbers again were impressive with the Mountaineers hosting 46 prospects visiting with a total of 21 of those committing to the program.
And in 2023, West Virginia hosted 36 players and 19 of those committed. The 2024 group hosted 46 official visitors and has landed 22 of those.
Overall, the data shows that only 84 of the 183 non-transfer players who have taken official visits to West Virginia since Brown has been atop the program have elected to go elsewhere.
That’s hitting on 54-percent of the players that the program has hosted, and that total doesn’t even include the ones that West Virginia elected to pass on for whatever reason that was ultimately their decision and not the players.
Getting players to campus has certainly been a weapon for the coaches and the data backs it up.

- Copy Link copied
West Virginia (3-1, 1-0 Big 12) at TCU (3-1, 1-0), Saturday, 8 p.m. ET (ESPN2)
Line: TCU by 13 1/2, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
Series record: West Virginia leads 7-5.
WHAT’S AT STAKE?
TCU hasn’t lost a Big 12 regular-season game under coach Sonny Dykes, who is in his second season. The winning streak reached 10 with a victory at Houston two weeks ago. West Virginia is going for its first 2-0 conference start since 2018 following a 20-13 victory over Texas Tech at home.
KEY MATCHUP
TCU QB Chandler Morris vs. West Virginia defense. Morris leads the Big 12 in total offense at 326 yards per game, which includes 280 passing. He had a career-high three TD passes in last week’s 34-17 victory over SMU. The Mountaineers have held their past two opponents to fewer than 200 yards through the air. Texas Tech had 161 after Pitt was held to 81.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
West Virginia: Mobile QBs Nicco Marchiol or Garrett Greene. Coach Neal Brown said Greene, who injured an ankle two weeks ago and missed last week’s 20-13 win over Texas Tech, won’t play unless he can run at full speed. If Greene can’t go, Marchiol would get his second career start. Marchiol rushed for 72 yards and completed 12 of 21 passes for 78 yards with one TD and two interceptions against the Red Raiders.
TCU: RB Emani Bailey has three 100-yard games already this year after getting just one in his first three seasons, the first two of which were at Louisiana. Bailey has consecutive 126-yard games with a touchdown after rushing for a career-high 164 yards in the 45-42 loss to Colorado in the opener. He entered the week in the top 10 nationally with 483 yards rushing.
FACTS & FIGURES
TCU TE Jared Wiley and West Virginia WR Hudson Clement are among the 10 players in the Big 12 with at least three receiving TDs. Both have three. ... With a win, Brown would even his career record at 26-26. … The Frogs lead the Big 12 and are tied for second nationally with 16 sacks. ... Over the past two games, West Virginia’s defense has allowed a total of one touchdown, but the Mountaineers’ offense was held to less than 260 yards each time. … TCU’s 41-31 victory in Morgantown last season ended West Virginia’s four-game winning streak in the series. … The Mountaineers have intercepted five passes, one more than all of last season. ... TCU is 16-0 under coach Sonny Dykes when winning the turnover battle. The Frogs were plus-2 against SMU.

The Mentor High School in Mentor, Ohio product announced his commitment to WVU after a win during the 2023 season following the game. Fox posted a graphic on social media and added “committed!!!” as the simple caption.
Fox, who initially received an offer from West Virginia back in May , has remained in steady contact with the WVU coaching staff. He even recently visited on Jan. 20 .
Fox also earned offers from several other major programs, but is locking in with the Mountaineers despite having multiple seasons of high school left. Boston College, Kentucky, Indiana, Marshall, Michigan State and even the team West Virginia beat on Saturday Cincinnati are among the schools who offered Fox.
