MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia came up short in its attempt to land four-star quarterback Beau Allen, who committed to Kentucky on Monday.
The result was to be expected. For as well as new Mountaineers coach Neal Brown knows Lexington, Ky., WVU isn’t physically there, and Lexington native Allen decided he didn’t want to leave the Bluegrass State.
Allen told reporters that after paying an official visit to Kentucky’s campus this weekend, “I knew all I needed to know. This was the time I could really make this decision.”
Fortunately for WVU, a second quarterback is a luxury to add to its 2020 recruiting class.
