2026 athlete Vann planning return trip to West Virginia
Middletown (Oh.) 2026 athlete Jordan Vann found out about his scholarship offer from West Virginia after the coaching staff visited his school during the evaluation period.
And now the plan is for him to make it back to campus to get another look at the school.
Vann, 6-foot-0, 180-pounds, got word of the news after tight ends coach Michael Nysewander stopped by his school and let him know that he was impressed with his film as well as his frame.
“I also had a conversation with coach (Henry) Weinreich and coach (Rich) Rodriguez on the phone. They seemed enthusiastic about me and I am excited to build a strong relationship,” he said.
The Rivals.com three-star prospect is being targeted at any of the three safety positions in the West Virginia defense at nickel, strong or free in large part due to his athleticism and feel for the game.
Vann has already visited Morgantown twice last season for camps and once for the spring game and was highly impressed with what he was able to see during each stop. Now, he plans to take a trip to campus to spend time with the new coaching staff in order to get to know them better.
“I really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was amazing and the facilities were top notch,” he said. “I’m thankful for the opportunity that the West Virginia staff has given me.”
Vann is placing a strong emphasis on where he is going to be developed on and off the field as well as get the best education.

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
