WVSports – 2027 OL Jaiden Lindsay adds first offer from West Virginia

Olney (Md.) Good Counsel 2027 offensive lineman Jaiden Lindsay competed in the second West Virginia big man camp of the summer and walked away with a scholarship offer.

Lindsay, 6-foot-3, 275-pounds, was one of the standouts during the event, especially during the one-on-one portion and once it was over he met with offensive line coach Matt Moore.

“He told me he was very impressed with my skills at such a young age. My reactions were I was shocked and proud of myself because I know that I worked hard for this opportunity,” he said.

The Mountaineers became the first Division One program to offer the versatile offensive lineman who was impressed with the set up of the big man camp as well as how the coaches taught him. He was especially impressed with how the coaches treated every kid on campus the same.

But his performance did warrant some additional feedback.

“The type of feedback I got was Coach Moore told me I could be a great offensive lineman if I keep working and hit the weight room,” he said.

West Virginia is targeting Lindsay anywhere from tackle to center depending on how he continues to develop his body and that versatility is something that caught the attention of Moore as well.

“That would help me in the future and they want to see me develop and grow,” he said.

The plan is for Lindsay to get another look at West Virginia in the future.

“I would love to come back for another visit,” he said.
