2027 LB Feister wants to learn more about West Virginia
Akron (Oh.) Hoban 2027 linebacker Brayton Feister is just starting the process of dipping his toes into his recruitment but he already has an idea of what he wants in a college program.
Feister, 6-foot-3, 230-pounds, is placing an emphasis on the school that is going to best develop him in order for him to realize his dream of playing at the next level.
And he’s already got plenty of options on the table such as offers from West Virginia, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Missouri, Indiana, Cincinnati, and Maryland, among others.
The offer from the Mountaineers came after a conversation with defensive assistant and special teams coordinator Pat Kirkland.
“The coaches are great people. I enjoyed the conversation we had,” he said.
Feister doesn’t know a whole lot about West Virginia at this early stage of the process but he is looking forward to finding out a lot more as his recruitment continues to evolve. But the offer is one that is significant to him for one major reason.
“It means a lot. It just shows the work I’m putting in is paying off,” he said.
Feister plans to visit Morgantown but at this stage is still in the process of lining up all of his trips and where all he will see in the coming weeks and months.
A two-way athlete at the high school level, Feister is coming off a season where he rushed for over 2,000 yards and 28 touchdowns but is receiving the most interest on the defensive side at linebacker.
“Schools like me on the defensive side but overall I’d say I’m an athlete. I can play wherever is needed,” Feister said.

Morrisey signs Baylea’s Law, increasing criminal penalties in W.Va. for DUI causing death
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WCHS) — West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey officially signed House Bill 4712 into law on Friday.
The bill, better known as Baylea’s Law, increases criminal penalties against those who are convicted of driving under the influence resulting in death. The bill is named after Baylea Bower, a 24-year-old woman from Boone County who was killed in a car crash on Easter in 2025 caused by a drunk driver.
The bill passed the House in February, with several of Bower’s family and friends gathered at the West Virginia Capitol in support of the bill.
“Obviously we’re going to be heartbroken,” Bower’s friend India Henderson said. “We have the lifetime sentence of not having Baylea. But if this does help save a life in the future and cause someone to not want to go out and cause this tragedy, then that is a win.”
In accordance with the passage of the bill, Baylea’s Law will take effect on June 12.
“West Virginia will no longer allow those who drive while impaired to escape the full weight of justice,” Morrisey said Friday in a press release. “Baylea’s Law gives our legal system the teeth to demand absolute accountability for the most heartbreaking crimes. Today, our laws stand firmly on the side of victims and their families.”
Specifically, Baylea’s Law introduces the offense of aggravated DUI resulting in death, which will carry the following mandatory sentences, according to a release from Morrisey’s office:
- Five to 30 years in prison
- Fine of $2,000 to $10,000
- Lifetime revocation of the offender’s driver’s license
