The West Virginia Mountaineers football program is experiencing a surge of momentum on the recruiting trail, securing a flurry of recent commitments for the 2026 recruiting class.
The Mountaineer coaching staff has now set their sights on another high-profile prospect in Westerville (Oh.) offensive lineman D’Nilyeon Taylor.
Taylor, 6-foot-5, 295-pounds, has released his final four schools – Buffalo, Eastern Michigan,, South Florida and West Virginia. He has set a decision date for June 21.
The commitment date comes on the heels on Taylor’s official visit to West Virginia, which occured last weekend. The visit left a strong impression, solidifying WVU’s position as a top contender for his commitment.
Taylor received his offer from West Virginia this past April following his visit to campus for the Gold-Blue Showcase, an experience that initially sparked his interest in the program.
