The good news on the recruiting trail continues for the West Virginia coaching staff, leading up to a very big month of June where they will host a number of top targets on official visits.

Wednesday evening, class of 2023 safety Caleb Woodson (6'3", 200 lbs) of Battlefield HS in Haymarket, Virginia announced his top five schools which included West Virginia. The other four schools in the running are Vanderbilt, Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Wake Forest.

Woodson has positional flexibility having played corner in high school as well. Given his size, he could even slide down to linebacker in some packages. He plays the run fairly well for someone who plays well off the ball. Coverage skills are pretty sharp and tackling is no issue for him whatsoever - just flip on the tape and you'll see it right away.

As of this time, there is no timetable for a decision
