MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia received a 2016 commitment from Pittsburgh offensive lineman Jacob Buccigrossi on Tuesday night, a Rivals two-star prospect whose stock has risen during the spring.

Former Michigan offensive line coach Darrell Funk visited Buccigrossi at North Hills High School last November and said the Wolverines planned to recruit him, though plans may have changed after Brady Hoke’s staff was replaced by Jim Harbaugh and Co.
