June is set to be one of the most critical months in recent memory for West Virginia University football recruiting. With 33 highly touted high school prospects scheduled to make official visits to Morgantown, the Mountaineers are positioning themselves for a potentially program-shifting recruiting haul in the 2025 cycle.
Head coach Neal Brown and his staff are pulling out all the stops as they look to build on the momentum generated during the spring evaluation period. These visits are more than just campus tours—they are strategic opportunities to sell the WVU brand, showcase the program’s culture, and lay the foundation for long-term relationships with future Mountaineers.
The 33 recruits scheduled for June represent a diverse and talented group. Among them are several four-star prospects, key in-state targets, and out-of-state athletes drawing attention from top-tier Power Five programs. WVU is particularly focused on reinforcing critical position groups, including offensive line, defensive backfield, and wide receiver.
For the staff, the month will be a marathon of logistics, presentations, facility tours, and one-on-one time with recruits and their families. The new Puskar Center renovations, upgraded practice facilities, and the player-first approach emphasized by Brown’s program will all be showcased. It’s not just about the football program—it’s about showing recruits where they’ll live, study, train, and grow for the next four years.
Official visits also give prospects a chance to meet current players, talk with academic advisors, and experience the full culture of WVU football. With name, image, and likeness (NIL) now playing a bigger role in recruiting decisions, expect WVU to present a clear, strategic pitch in that arena as well.
The next few weeks could determine the trajectory of the Mountaineers’ 2025 class. While commitments won’t necessarily come immediately after visits, these face-to-face interactions often separate contenders from pretenders in the recruiting race.
With 33 prospects taking official visits in June, WVU has a golden opportunity to make its mark. If the staff can close strong, this month could prove to be a turning point for the program’s future competitiveness in the Big 12 and beyond.
