The West Virginia football program has landed another versatile piece on the defensive side of the ball with a commitment from Springfield (Oh.) 2026 athlete Taj Powell.
Powell, 6-foot-3, 195-pounds, picked the Mountaineers over an offer from Kentucky.
The Rivals.com three-star prospect received an offer from West Virginia Jan. 24 and things only picked up from that point with multiple visits to Morgantown including most recently March 27 for an unofficial visit.

Nickels/sams coach Henry Weinreich served as the lead recruiter for Powell along with head coach Rich Rodriguez and he was able to develop a comfort level with the staff over the past several months.
