MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Football may be temporarily shut down, but West Virginia’s next recruiting class continues to grow.
The Mountaineers received their second Class of 2021 commitment this week as Hammond Russell, a defensive end from Dublin, Ohio, pledged to WVU on Good Friday.

Russell is a 6-foot-3, 235-pound weakside defensive end whom Rivals rates as a 3-star recruit.
West Virginia lucked out on landing Russell in at least one regard. He had already taken two visits to campus prior to the massive shutdown created by the COVID-19 pandemic.
