MORGANTOWN — The traditional signing day is here and the West Virginia football program is expected to officially add several more players to the 2025 class.
The Mountaineers are expected to sign several players that have committed to the program since the close of the early signing period with Anderson (S.C.) Westside cornerback Chamarryus Bomar and inside wide receiver Armoni Weaver, Glendora (Ca.) Citrus College edge Keenan Eck and Hutchinson (Kan.) C.C. edge Marshon Oxley among that group.
Bomar, 6-foot-0, 170-pounds, was initially committed to Appalachian State but opened up his recruitment and followed his lead recruiter Rod West to Morgantown. The Mountaineers extended a scholarship offer Jan. 5 and after a visit to campus he committed to the program.
Bomar is slated to play defensive back for the Mountaineers but is coming off a massive senior campaign where he accounted for 1,293 receiving yards and 23 total touchdowns while recording 5 interceptions and a pair of pick sixes.
Weaver, 5-foot-10, 170-pounds, traveled the exact same route as his teammate Bomar, even being offered and committing the same day after visiting Morgantown. The only difference is that Weaver is slated to play inside wide receiver and hauled in 26 passes for 541 yards and 7 touchdowns last year.
A pair of junior college pass rushers also are expected to ink with the Mountaineers in Oxley and Eck.
Oxley, 6-foot-3, 220-pounds, was a late addition to the class committing Feb. 2 after an official visit to campus. The California native was named a NJCAA first-team all-American last season with 42 tackles and 12 sacks while prior to that he was at Colorado State for two seasons.
While Oxley redshirted during his first year with the Rams, he appeared in 11 games in 2023 where he recorded 26 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, and 4 sacks.
Eck, 6-foot-3, 235-pounds, spent this past season at Citrus College where he recorded 26 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss and 6 sacks. Prior to that, the California native was at Black Hills State where he recorded 13 tackles and 8.5 sacks along with 4 forced fumbles.
Eck took an official visit to Morgantown Jan. 10 where he received an offer and then committed to the program a few days later giving the Mountaineers another edge rusher.
West Virginia also remains in the mix for several key targets as well.
Youngstown (Oh.) Ursuline 2025 offensive lineman Phillip Bowser has narrowed his choices down to West Virginia, UCF and Ohio State after taking official visits to the first two on that list. All three programs have offered and Bowser is being targeted as a versatile offensive lineman.
Bowser, 6-foot-5, 275-pounds, has developed a strong connection with offensive line coach Jack Bicknell and was especially impressed with his experience at the college and NFL levels.
Fort Myers (Fla.) 2025 athlete Madrid Tucker is down to just West Virginia and North Carolina after visiting both and the inside wide receiver prospect is expected to make his choice known today.
The two-way athlete who also is a standout on the baseball diamond is being recruited by assistant running backs coach Noel Devine and inside wide receivers coach Blaine Stewart.
The Mountaineers also remain in the picture for Los Alamitos (Ca.) Cerritos C.C. 2025 defensive end Adam Tomczyk who took an official visit Jan. 5. Arizona also has offered, but West Virginia has been high on his list for some time after he posted 43 tackles, 9 tackles for loss, 4 sacks and 2 forced fumbles earning first team all-state honors in the process last season.
And there is always the possibility of surprises as well. The West Virginia coaching staff has been plenty busy restocking the roster and while it won’t be as active as the early signing period, the late one should still bring some good news for the Mountaineers.
