Lipscomb Academy (Tn.) 2025 defensive lineman Amir Leonard-Jean Charles received an offer from West Virginia this week and admitted to me that it was special because his mother attended school there. He was talking with defensive line coach AJ Jackson and they had been in communication for the past few days when the Mountaineers gave him the scholarship offer. He has actually visited Morgantown once before and believes it is a great program. The plan is to make it back to West Virginia for a visit sometime in the future and he is being recruited as a defensive lineman because coaches like his size and leverage with his long arms. He told me schools standing out early include Georgia, Michigan, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia and a few others. He told me ultimately the connection he has with the coaches and the vibe he has with the players will be two of the biggest things when it comes to making a college decision.
