AN EXCERPT:
Four-star recruit Brendan Ferns, the highest-rated linebacker prospect in Ohio for the 2016 recruiting class, said he plans to choose between Penn State and West Virginia before the start of his senior season.
That high school season starts Aug. 28.
The St. Clairsville standout would represent a plum pickup for West Virginia, where older brother Michael is preparing for a redshirt season after transferring from Michigan. Rivals currently ranks the Mountaineers’ class 32nd nationally, and Ferns would become the program’s second-highest rated linebacker recruit since 2000, behind only junior college signee Bruce Irvin in 2010.
