Goulbourne talks about commitment

Running back Ovid Goulbourne is one of the top rushers in the state of Pennsylvania and plans on taking his game to a program with a reputation for running the ball.

The 6-foot-1, 198-pound back from Easton, Pa. runs the 40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds and has verbally committed to West Virginia.

"I talked to the West Virginia coaches a little bit and they sounded excited," said Goulbourne. "We didn't really talk about what they want me to do next year, but they've got someone coming by to see me in the next couple of days. I'm sure we'll talk about how they want me to work out and what they want me to prepare for then."

One other program was in it until the end.

"UConn was really the other school I was interested in. I haven't really talked to them about it yet. I was supposed to go to UConn on an official visit next weekend but I don't think I'll be taking it. This is pretty much it for me. I don't see myself changing my mind."

Goulbourne is a three-star prospect and rated the No. 42 running back in the nation.
