One official visit was all James Heard needed.
The three-star Voorhees (N.J.) Camden linebacker committed to West Virginia on his visit Friday, he announced on Twitter.
Heard is the No. 479 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 46 linebacker and the No. 14 player in the state of Pennsylvania.
The 6-foot-2, 218-pounder chose the Mountaineers over finalists Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia, as well as more than a dozen other offers.
