Over the years, West Virginia hasn’t successfully ventured in the state of Michigan much when it comes to the recruiting trail.

Since 2002, the program has signed a total of 481 players according to Rivals.com. A total of three of those came from The Great Lakes State during that span in Derek Knight in 2007, Martell Pettaway in 2016 and most recently DeVell Washington in 2020.
