He has steadily progressed as a player since then and is quickly garnering D1 college attention heading into his junior year for the Mohigans. A surging Sacramento State (CA) FCS program extended Mott his first D1 offer in May, with more to come soon enough. He's putting in the work at various camps and training sessions to reach P4 heights, and we're confident that Mott is capable of looks from that level in time."</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19475396/67d10075d63e12b8daa0c9d0' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68a5eddb957ac"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1326483"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68a5eddb957ea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An underrated defensive lineman in the 2027 class for Morgantown is [player_tooltip player_id='1326483' first='Chase' last='Travis']. Size will be his biggest obstacle as a college prospect, but Travis has the ability and film to earn some scholarship money in the future. If he's athletic enough to play EDGE in college, his ceiling as a prospect would increase greatly. Travis has that potential to play there as a high effort player with sound technique and fundamentals for a young player over the past two years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19684964/677ebc53b854fc2aadc69ffd' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68a5eddb9580a"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["923337"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68a5eddb95848"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If Morgantown wants to be playing on Laidley Field in December this season, they'll need 2028 QB/ATH [player_tooltip player_id='923337' first='Maddox' last='Twigg'] to take over some games. He'll be a big offensive line in front of him and skill players everywhere to spread the ball to.

He's already earned an offer from Marshall earlier this summer after a strong 7-on-7 showing and has some of the highest upside in this class as an athlete. Twigg has the size and athleticism to play a few different positions at the next level for a D1 program, but will begin his journey as a prospect in our rankings with a quarterback label. His sophomore season will give us a bigger sample size of his arm talent, as all of the other physical traits are already apparent. Twigg has future P4 ability either as a QB or ATH, depending on how his arm develops over the next three years. Expect him to receive attention from the highest level of college sooner rather than later."</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/22484938/672d97a98c52bf923858f0d6' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68a5eddb95869"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>OTHER PLAYERS TO KNOW</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Drew Stahara - 2026 OL</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1371722' first='Jacob' last='Woodall'] - 2026 OL</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Teon Scott - 2026 WR</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Matthew Hennige - 2026 QB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Waylon Colistra - 2026 WR</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1587287' first='Coal' last='Park'] - 2027 LB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1129045' first='Kane' last='Williams'] - 2027 LB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1311026' first='Brooks' last='King'] - 2028 ATH</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1656366' first='Grant' last='Robinson'] - 2028 EDGE</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
