Double pickup: West Virginia lands 3-star commits McDougle, Roberson

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Defensive lineman Lamonte McDougle had long been a priority for West Virginia. Receiver Reggie Roberson became a target less than three weeks ago.

Both three-star prospects chose the Mountaineers on Monday night, some 36 hours before national letters of intent begin rolling in.

They give West Virginia 21 commitments in a 2017 class Rivals ranks 47th nationally.

The 6-foot, 185-pound Roberson of Mesquite, Texas, recently became a top contingency for the Mountaineers after four-star Mike Harley decommitted.

Roberson himself is a decommitment, having pledged to Kansas last May before rethinking things in November.
