Harrisburg’s Kevin Brown makes legacy commitment official to West Virginia
Kevin Brown’s recruitment was supposed to be settled last summer.
But for the Harrisburg star, fate intervened, and now the blue-chip offensive lineman has officially signed to play at a place that always made sense: his father’s alma mater of West Virginia.
Brown just wrapped up his senior season at Harrisburg, playing two ways to lead the Cougars to their fourth consecutive state semifinal, and now will head to Morgantown to lead a stellar WVU recruiting class.
“It’s surreal,” Brown said after he first announced his decision. “I still haven’t taken it all in.”
Maybe the dust has settled a little bit for the 6-foot-5, 270-pound lineman who ranks as the No. 122 player in the nation per 247.
And with his presence, the WVU recruiting class for 2026 has bolted all the way up to No. 31 in the nation, sitting ahead of schools like Mississippi State, Arizona, Pittsburgh and more.
Brown will be joining that group of Mountaineers in Morgantown, where he will wear the same uniform his father, Tim, wore from 1999 to 2004, playing for the same head football coach in Rich Rodriguez.
“I’m super excited to get on that uniform and be burning couches every Saturday with Rich Rod and my dad,” Brown said.
