West Virginia Gets DB
Jamil Tyson from Camden (N.J.) Woodrow Wilson has given a verbal commitment to West Virginia University after his weekend visit to Morgantown. The 6-foot, 175-pound athlete will be playing cornerback for the Mountaineers although he was also a standout quarterback for the past two seasons.
"I loved my visit; the players I met and the coaches were great,” he said. “They recruited me as a DB and that's fine with me."

What about his scheduled visits to Marshall and Pittsburgh?
