Josh Jenkins football journey is taking him to Morgantown. Wednesday morning, the All-American lineman from Parkersburg High School officially accepted a scholarship offer to play for the West Virginia Mountaineers.

With his family and friends looking on at the Memorial Fieldhouse, Josh at first donned a Michigan hat...then fired it into the crowd and put on his WVU hat.

It's a big recruiting coup for new WVU head coach Bill Stewart. Josh was recruited heavily by Ohio State, Florida State and other national powers.

Josh is a two-time Hunt Award winner as the lineman of the year in West Virginia. He was part of a Big Red team that won state football championships back to back for the first time in school history.

As part of Wednesday's signing ceremonies, Travis Bunner and Zach Nolan signed letters of intent with Fairmont State University. And Big Red Soccer player Michael Pitrolo accepted a scholarship offer from West Virginia University.
