WVU Lands First 2028 Commit: LB Brandon Wills-Dickson
3 Jun
Summary
- Brandon Wills-Dickson, a linebacker from Maryland, committed to WVU.
- He chose West Virginia over offers from numerous Power Four programs.
- Wills-Dickson is noted for his tough, physical style and run-stopping ability.
The West Virginia Mountaineers have landed their first commitment for the 2028 recruiting class, securing linebacker Brandon Wills-Dickson. The talented defensive player hails from St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, Maryland.
Wills-Dickson, standing at 6'0" and weighing 225 lbs, chose West Virginia over a competitive list of offers. This list included prominent programs such as Auburn, Florida State, Indiana, Maryland, Nebraska, Oregon, and Texas A&M. His visit to campus this past weekend proved decisive in his commitment.
Scouts describe Wills-Dickson as a tough, physical, and hard-nosed player with a strong aptitude for stopping the run. His current physique and strength are already impressive, with expectations that he will further develop under the team's strength and conditioning program. He plays with controlled aggression and discipline, making a notable impact on the field.
Wills-Dickson projects as an inside linebacker capable of contributing in pass coverage, drawing comparisons to a faster, more athletic Ben Cutter due to his physical condition and potential. This early commitment is seen as a significant pickup for the Mountaineers' coaching staff, although more Power Four programs may pursue him in the coming years.
