After a strong 2017 season, the Mountaineers clinched a share of the Sun Belt Conference championship for the second time. This recent success has helped the Mountaineers when it comes to the recruiting trail and gaining some national exposure and attracting a higher caliber of recruits. The class currently consists of several three-star recruits and currently ranks 111th in the nation.
Possibly the most hyped recruit of the class so far is the dual-threat, 6 feet, 5 inches, 220-pound quarterback Stephon Brown. Brown is a native of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and is a product of Robert B. Glenn High School, where he finished a terrific career, accumulating 108 touchdowns and 10,000 passing yards before making a Shrine Bowl appearance.
