Philadelphia St. Joseph’s Prep three-star linebacker Josiah Trotter has committed to West Virginia, he announced Friday on social media.

He chose the Mountaineers over Clemson, Penn State, South Carolina and Virginia Tech.

He is the No. 413 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

“I love the facilities there,” Josiah Trotter previous told BWI. “I thought they were really great, especially with their strength and conditioning. Their strength and conditioning coaches have been good, as well as just their defense and what they do on that side of the ball. They do a great job staying in contact, letting me know that I’m a high priority for them and their number one guy.”

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $16.3k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Duncan (S.C.) Spartanburg three-star quarterback Raheim Jeter, West Cincinnati Winton Woods three-star cornerback Cameron Calhoun, York (Pa.) William Penn three-star running back Jahiem White, Duncan (S.C.) Spartanburg three-star defensive lineman Cameron Jackson and Fairfield (Ohio) cornerback Josiah Jackson are the other recruits in the Mountaineers class. West Virginia’s class ranks 27th in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Ranking.
