Stone Mountain (Ga.) receiver Deshon Stoudemire committed to West Virginia on Friday, becoming the fifth commitment for 2019.
A 6-foot-1, 170-pound Rivals three-star prospect from Stephenson High, he holds offers from a cluster of major programs including Auburn, Ohio State, Michigan State, Louisville, Nebraska, South Carolina, Iowa State and Syracuse.
West Virginia cornerbacks coach Doug Belk has been relying on his home-state ties to mine Georgia, particularly the talent-rich Atlanta metro area.
Stoudemire was in the middle of a weekend visit to Morgantown when he pledged. The Mountaineers figure to be rebuilding their receiving unit after next season when David Sills and Gary Jennings graduate.
