Westerville (Oh.) North 2026 offensive lineman D’Nilyeon Taylor returned to West Virginia for his official visit and left campus with strong feelings about the football program.

Taylor, 6-foot-5, 295-pounds, has held an offer from West Virginia since April 12 and the official visit gave him the chance to tour more of Morgantown and the facilities on campus.

Needless to say, the experience impressed him.

“I loved the official visit,” he said.

Taylor was able to speak with all of the coaches on staff at least once but spent the majority of his time with offensive line coach Jack Bicknell, assistant offensive line coach Derek Dressler, senior offensive assistant Travis Trickett and head coach Rich Rodriguez.

The offensive tackle also was able to spend time speaking with the players as well and it gave him some perspective on the program and how he could fit into it.

“I got a better grasp on how the players felt about the direction the program is headed in and I had the opportunity to connect with coaches on a higher level,” he said.

The visit definitely helped West Virginia’s chances in the recruitment of Taylor as it gave him a better idea about the program and all of the ins and outs.

“I got a better idea of where WVU is at on my list,” he said.

The plan now is to make a college decision after he wraps up his official visit schedule sometime toward the end of June, but the Mountaineers definitely made a good impression.

“WVU is a great place, and I know the coaching staff has high hopes for me so I know if I decided to commit there I would be in good hands,” he said.

Winning 10+ games in year one of Rich Rodriguez’s return to West Virginia is a tall task, especially given the schedule the Mountaineers have. Unfortunately, that’s likely the ballpark WVU needs to be in if they want an at-large bid in the College Football Playoff, assuming they don’t win the Big 12.

The chances of that happening? Slim to none, according to the ESPN Football Power Index (FPI).

West Virginia has just a 0.8% chance of making the playoffs, which is toward the bottom among Power Four teams. Only Mississippi State, Arizona, Stanford, Syracuse, Houston, Northwestern, Wake Forest, and Purdue have worse odds of making it.

Anyone who is expecting WVU to crash the college football playoff party this season may want to rethink their assessment of the team. Yes, Curt Cignetti did it in year one at Indiana a year ago, but he had the benefit of playing just one ranked opponent all season. Rich Rod won’t get that lucky.

Rodriguez knows it’ll be an uphill battle in 2025, but that doesn’t mean he’s altered his main goals.

“If we’re not in contention in November for the conference championship, then I think it’s not a good year,” he told the ESPN College GameDay crew. “Every year, our first goal is to win the league. Now, if you win the league, you’re going to be in the playoff. I saw Arizona State do it last year, and I know it was in Kenny (Dillingham’s) second year, but they went from down the bottom to the top. Now, can we do that in one year, not two years? That’s a harder ask to do, but certainly that’ll be our focus.”
