Carnell Warren Commits To Virginia Tech
Carnell Warren
Wide receiver, Class of 2026
Bluffton, Bluffton, S.C.
6-4, 195
Virginia Tech received its first commitment in the 2026 class on Thursday from wide receiver Carnell Warren.
The Bluffton, S.C., product picked the Hokies on ESPN2 during the Under Armour All-American Game. He’s a top-300 talent in the class who had other Power Four offers from Cincinnati, Duke, Georgia Tech and Wake Forest. Appalachian State, Charlotte, Coastal Carolina, East Carolina, Georgia State, Liberty, Miami (OH) and Toledo were among the Group of Five teams interested.
Warren is rated higher on ESPN and On3 than 247Sports and Rivals. Here’s a breakdown:
247Sports Composite: No. 277 nationally, No. 44 WR, No. 6 S.C. (Four-star)
ESPN: No. 203 nationally, No. 30 WR, No. 4 S.C. (Four-star)
On3: No. 185 nationally, No. 23 WR, No. 5 S.C. (Four-star)
247Sports: No. 43 WR, No. 4 S.C. (Three-star)
Rivals: No. 10 S.C. (three-star)
As a junior this season at Bluffton High School, earned all-region honors after catching 59 passes for 846 yards and 14 touchdowns while adding an interception on defense. Including his sophomore year, which featured 53 receptions, 723 yards and nine scores, Warren’s posted 112 catches, 1,569 yards and 23 touchdowns in two campaigns. He also plays basketball and averaged 13.6 points per game as a sophomore with the Bobcats.
Warren received an offer from the Hokies last May before camping in July. He had two unofficial visits to Blacksburg during the 2024 season, along with one to Tennessee.
It’s another big addition to the wide receiver room for Fontel Mines, who has constructed a talented room. Looking ahead, of the 10 wideouts slated to be on the roster in 2026, six of them — including Warren and Tennessee transfer Cameron Seldon — were once four-star prospects out of high school. Keylen Adams, Chanz Wiggins, Micah Matthews and Shamarius Peterkin are the others.
Warren is the second player in the 2026 class to verbal to Tech, though quarterback Peyton Falzone backtracked and decommitted in November after his original pledge in July.

West Virginia commit announces decision by blasting ‘Country Roads,’ lighting a couch on fire
A big moment in any student-athlete’s career is announcing what school they’re committing to, and I don’t think you’re going to find an announcement better than one we’ve got coming from one of the newest West Virginia Mountaineers.
What’s that smell? It… it smells like a couch burning to the sounds of the Mountaineers’ beloved John Denver “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
You bet your sweet a– that’s what it is.

Ethan Lawson is a 6’6″, 300-lb offensive lineman and part of the 2027 recruiting class.

According to Sport Illustrated he has fielded offers from a bunch of programs including Appalachian State, Liberty, Air Force, Army, Navy, Duke, Wake Forest, UConn and more.
But, they all missed out because Lawson posted his decision on X, and well… I think he was always West Virginia material.
Bobcat Goldthwait was burning couches on camera before it was cool.
But, alright, there’s no doubt about it: someone is about to sell some jerseys.

And if there’s not a furniture store in Morgantown that brings in Lawson and fellow offensive line recruit Kevin Brown (who also lit a couch on fire because that’s becoming a thing) for an ad, then… then, well, I don’t know what, but it would be quite the missed opportunity.

Hey, like it or not, sometimes in the age of NIL it can be a popularity contest. If fans like you, it could mean greater visibility and more lucrative deals. Perhaps that was the mission here, and we all know it worked.

I refuse to believe any Mountaineers fans saw that video, heard the song and then didn’t reflexively raise a beer (even if they didn’t realize they were drinking one and say, “Hell yeah, brother.”)
We’ll see if the sort of thing translates onto the field, but even if it doesn’t, I feel like there’s money to be made making appearances and lighting furniture on fire at frat parties.
