Class of 2023 defensive lineman Justin Benton (6'2", 275 lbs) of Covington, Georgia announced that he has committed to West Virginia. 

Benton chose the Mountaineers over offers from Arizona State, Arkansas, Duke, Florida, Florida State, Kentucky, Louisville, Maryland, Michigan State, Mississippi State, Oregon, Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee, UCF, USC, Vanderbilt, and Virginia Tech.

Despite being heavily interested in Georgia, Benton opted to go with WVU - the school that pushed for him the hardest and made he and his family feel "at home."

Benton becomes the third defensive lineman to commit in the class, joining Cameron Jackson and Eamon Smalls.
