The Early Signing Period in college football has arrived! West Virginia currently has twenty verbal commitments in this class, plus another two transfer commitments already on board.

***LIVE UPDATES***<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:48pm ET – <\/strong>Things got a little dicey there, but Traylon Ray is officially signed. Neal Brown alluded to the fact that the Mountaineers would only sign sixteen players, but he was hoping for eighteen. One of those question marks was Traylon Ray, but he’s now on board. <\/p>\n

11:25am ET – <\/strong>Rodney Gallagher has officially signed with WVU Football. <\/p>\n

11:15 am ET – <\/strong>It’s been an interesting last hour. Not only did Justin Benton flip to Houston, but Head Coach Neal Brown said on the Signing Day show that he is only expecting sixteen signees today. Most likely, that means that Traylon Ray and Chrisdasson Saint-Jean are electing to wait, as Brown says that Johnny Williams is in (although not official from the school) and the team just announced DJ Oliver. With Rodney Gallagher posting an official WVU graphic for a 1pm signing, that would make sixteen. <\/p>\n
