Something special is brewing in Morgantown.
A cryptic social media post from West Virginia senior offensive analyst Travis Trickett and the official WVU Football account late Wednesday night has ignited a firestorm of speculation. It appears the Mountaineers have landed not one, but two big time recruits.
The excitement kicked off when Trickett dropped a Batman meme holding a ticking bomb. Later, Trickett posted the same image but captioned simply “x2 ,” hinting at not one, but two major commitments on the horizon.
Adding fuel to the fire, an innocuous graphic shared by the official WVU football X account with an image of head coach Rich Rodriguez flashing a triumphant grin, mouthing “We Got Him!”
For those unfamiliar with WVU’s recruiting playbook, this isn’t just hype—it’s a proven signal. The same phrase was used just weeks ago to announce the commitment of four-star offensive lineman Kevin Brown, sending Mountaineer Nation into a tailspin of joy. Now, with the early signing period looming, fans are daring to dream big.
While it’s unclear which two recruits the Mountaineers have landed, one thing’s certain: this rumor has Mountaineer Nation feasting on the possibilities this Thanksgiving day.
