Heading into his first season as the head coach at West Virginia, Neal Brown is not only making efforts to recruit in the Mountain State, he has also been gaining commitments from European athletes. Brown has been able to find these European players through connections with a German based scouting service. WVU has gained a commitment from Jairo Faverus, a defensive back who is playing in England. Although Faverus is playing in England, he is from the Netherlands. Swedish tight end Viktor Wikstrom has also committed to the Mountaineers.
Coach Brown is also working on clearing up scholarship details for the 2019 recruiting class.
