2025 WVU Football Commits

An in-depth look at West Virginia's 2025 recruiting class.

West Virginia Football Commits - Class of 2025

1. QB Scotty Fox

Height: 6'2" Weight: 210 lbs

Hometown: Mentor, OH

Offers: Akron, Ball State, Boston College, Bowling Green, Connecticut, Indiana, Kentucky, Marshall, Miami (OH), Michigan State, Minnesota, Toledo, West Virginia.

The scout: Fox is a dual-threat quarterback who wants to throw the ball first. Very good awareness in the pocket and knows when to bail and use his legs to either extend the play or call his own number. Best area of his game, in my opinion, is his ball location. He not only throws receivers open, but anticipates where defenders are going to be when making a play on the ball and puts it in a window where only his guy can get it. It's all over his tape. Calm when under duress and doesn't try to force many throws. He'll make guys miss in the open field when he does run the football, but it's not because he has the wiggle of a Garrett Greene. He's a bigger, more physical runner that is hard to bring down to the ground once he gets a full steam ahead. I have him rated higher than 2024 signee Khalil Wilkins.

2. RB Deandre Desinor

Height: 5'8" Weight: 180 lbs

Hometown: Delray Beach, FL

Offers: Coastal Carolina, Colorado, Florida, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Houston, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Liberty, Louisville, Maryland, Miami (FL), NC State, North Carolina, Ole Miss, Oregon, Penn State, Pitt, SMU, South Carolina, Syracuse, Texas, Texas A&M, Toledo, Tulane, UCF, USF, West Virginia.

The scout: Don't let the size fool you. Desinor likes to run the ball between the tackles and has the lower body strength to rip through attempted tackles and get north. He has terrific contact balance and plays with good pad level. Very bouncy with his juke move in the open field, often leaving defenders on skates. When he does stretch it to the outside, he's nearly impossible to angle off. A true home run threat out of the backfield.

3. WR Tyshawn Dues

Height: 5'10" Weight: 170 lbs

Hometown: Hurricane, WV

Offers: Appalachian State, Akron, Eastern Kentucky, Kent State, Marshall, Miami (OH), West Virginia.

The scout: Acceleration is off the charts. Opposing defenses are getting burnt play after play, even with help over the top. Can pose a home run ball threat at the next level, but he's not just a one-trick pony. He's a three level receiver who can rack up yards after the catch. Smooth out of his release and is one of the best separators I've seen over the last few classes (among WVU commits). Effective in the slot and on the outside.

4. WR Teriq Mallory

Height: 6'5" Weight: 190 lbs

Hometown: New Haven, CT

Offers: Duke, Maryland, UConn, UMass, Wake Forest, West Virginia.

The scout: The 6-foot-5 receiver does an excellent job of high-pointing the football and positioning his body to make contested catches downfield. For a receiver his size, he does a really good job of getting in and out of his breaks smoothly. He's a big-time vertical threat that really stresses corners on the outside. Once he fills out his frame, he'll be a primary option for West Virginia.

5. TE Jackson Accuardi

Height: 6'7" Weight: 220 lbs

Hometown: DeForest, WI

Offers: Central Michigan, Colorado, Duke, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa State, Louisville, Michigan State, West Virginia.

The scout: I knew the kid could catch the football, but when I flicked on the tape, I was impressed with his willingness and effectiveness as a blocker. He does need more consistent pad level, but that will get cleaned up once he reaches Morgantown. As a receiver, he's very sure-handed, and does have a good feel for finding the soft spot in the middle of the field. Probably the most well-rounded tight end Neal Brown has landed out of high school since becoming the head coach at WVU.

6. OT Eidan Buchanan

Height: 6'8" Weight: 310 lbs

Hometown: Olney, MD

Offers: Boston College, Charlotte, East Carolina, James Madison, Kentucky, Maryland, Miami (FL), Pitt, Rutgers, Syracuse, Temple, USF, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Wisconsin.

The scout: Have you ever watched The Blindside? If so, Buchanan's tape will remind you a lot of Michael Oher in that he just punishes people into the ground until he hears the whistle. Once he gets ahold of someone, there's not detaching. Big, massive tackle who I think has the ability to kick inside to guard at the next level. The way he's able to pull is what has me intrigued with potentially moving him inside.

7. OL Gavin Crawford

Height: 6'3" Weight: 310 lbs

Hometown: Olney, MD

Offers: Boston College, Duke, Florida, Georgia, Liberty, Marshall, Maryland, Memphis, Michigan State, Pitt, Syracuse, Tennessee, UCLA, West Virginia.

The scout: Crawford is a tremendous athlete and it shows when he's being asked to pull and be the lead blocker in the outside run game. He's a mauler, a physical force, someone who plays with a mean streak. Has powerful hands that oftentimes knocks defenders on their can. When he latches on, though, defenders have a difficult time getting free. There are some questions with his pass protection and not because he's put bad work on film, there's just not much of it. He comes from a pretty run-heavy offense, leaving him few opportunities. From the few reps available, he does play with a good base and moves his feet really well, staying balanced. He's a natural fit at left guard and projects to play there at West Virginia, possibly pretty early in his career as a rotational guy. Assuming he makes a successful transition, Crawford should be a multi-year starter at the next level and has some All-Big 12 potential in him.

8. OL Thomas Barr

Height: 6'3" Weight: 290 lbs

Hometown: Haverford, PA

Offers: UMass, West Virginia.

The scout: Barr is a little undersized compared to the current linemen on the roster and to his fellow classmate, Buchanan, but there's a lot to like here. He has position flex as a guard or center, however, he'll likely need two or so years to fill out and push for a spot in the rotation. There is no junior tape available, so it's a little tougher to gauge where he's at. You could see the growth from his freshman to sophomore tape, though.

9. CB Zah Jackson

Height: 5'10" Weight: 180 lbs

Hometown: Huntington, WV

Offers: Akron, Appalachian State, Eastern Kentucky, Marshall, NC State, West Virginia.

The scout: Solid two-way player at Huntington who spent a lot of time on the offensive side of the ball. Has great ball skills, so it's easy to see why they want(ed) to get him involved as much as possible, even in the return game. Coverage-wise, Jackson plays a lot of zone and uses his physicality - don't be fooled by his frame - to jar the ball loose on numerous occasions. There isn't much press man coverage on film, so that might be an area of concentration when he reaches campus.

10. DB Elgin Sessions

Height: 6'10" Weight: 180 lbs

Hometown: Irmo, SC

Offers: Appalachian State, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Coastal Carolina, Duke, East Carolina, Georgia Southern, Georgia Tech, Liberty, Marshall, Miami (OH), Old Dominion, Stanford, West Virginia.

The scout: In press man coverage, Sessions does a good job of running stride for stride with the receiver, not allowing much separation. He plays the game at 100 mile per hour with zero hesitation. That, plus his versatility is what leads me to believe he'll have a chance to play pretty early on in his career. Of the few clips shown at safety, he displays good instincts by making consistent jumps on pass plays, piercing his way into the passing window. Very few defensive backs are willing to come downhill and be a contributor in shutting down the run game. Not Sessions. This young man plays with physicality and can deliver big hits in the open field. A really complete player the Mountaineers are getting here.
