MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia is shifting its 2019 quarterback search after Brian Maurer committed to Tennessee on Wednesday.
The Mountaineers were Maurer’s first Power Five offer 13 months ago, while Tennessee’s surfaced only last week.
Texas A&M and Ohio State also offered recently, but the 6-foot-4 three-star prospect from Ocala, Fla., told media that UCF was his runner-up choice.
Maurer’s recruitment surged this month after earning a spot in Nike’s Elite 11. That landed the 6-foot-4 three-star prospect in The Opening finals this weekend in Frisco, Texas, where Maurer said he’ll be recruiting for the Vols.
