The <b>270-pounder<\/b> had been solid to the <b>Nittany Lions<\/b> for nearly <b>16 months<\/b>. That changed when <b>head coach James Franklin<\/b> got fired.<\/p>\n<p>Brown didn&#8217;t wait around for Penn State to stabilize. The <b>Harrisburg High School<\/b> standout visited <b>West Virginia<\/b> multiple times. He narrowed his options down to <b>three programs<\/b>: <b>North Carolina<\/b>, <b>Ohio State<\/b>, and <b>West Virginia<\/b>.

His father played for the <b>Mountaineers<\/b>, giving him roots in <b>Morgantown<\/b>. That connection proved valuable when <b>Penn State<\/b> collapsed. Family history matters in recruiting at elite levels.<\/p>\n<p>The flip also signals confidence in <b>Rich Rodriguez<\/b>&#8216;s program direction. <b>West Virginia<\/b> remains competitive in the <b>Big 12<\/b>, and the coaching staff&#8217;s stability appeals to elite prospects.
