MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — S.L. McCall gave himself a gift on his birthday.
McCall, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound linebacker from Iowa Western Junior College, chose his birthday as the day to commit to West Virginia. He is a member of the 2020 recruiting class.
McCall projects to play at the primarily pass-rushing Bandit position, which is currently occupied by VanDarius Cowan and Zach Sandwisch.
The Mountaineers are taking a leap of faith with McCall, who sat out last season after not qualifying academically out of high school. He will play for the Reivers this season and have three years left to play at West Virginia.
