Final Names to Know Before the WV Exposure Series

The WV Exposure Series is nearly here, and the final group of names heading into Sunday brings plenty of intrigue across every position group. From established ranked prospects looking to strengthen their standing to under-the-radar players hoping to force their way into the conversation, this event creates a valuable opportunity for athletes to make a statement before the offseason fully shifts toward summer workouts and team camps. Strong camp performances can change perception quickly, especially in competitive settings where players are matched up directly against quality talent from around the state. With a mix of proven names, rising prospects, and intriguing newcomers set to compete, Sunday should provide plenty of storylines and several athletes capable of leaving the event with much more attention surrounding their name.    Maddox Twigg enters the WV Exposure Series as the #1 overall player in the 2028 class, and expectations will be high this Sunday. After helping lead Morgantown to a state championship as a sophomore, Twigg already carries multiple D1 offers and continues building momentum heading into his junior season. The quarterback talent is well known at this point, but this camp could also provide a chance to see more of the athletic versatility that makes him such an intriguing overall prospect. If he chooses to compete during DB 1-on-1s, it would only add another layer to his profile. Twigg has the type of all-around ability to dominate multiple portions of the event and is an early favorite to leave with MVP honors.     Bluefield's Paxtyn Calhoun has all the tools to be one of the biggest matchup problems at the WV Exposure Series this weekend. The Bluefield standout comes in as the #1 WR in the 2028 class and already holds a spot inside the Top 5 overall rankings, which speaks to the upside and production attached to his game. His combination of size, athletic ability, and playmaking makes him extremely difficult to handle once the ball is in the air. Calhoun feels built for camp settings where receivers can take over during 1-on-1s and create highlight moments throughout the day. Expectations will be high heading into Sunday, and he looks like another strong candidate to leave the event firmly in the MVP conversation.     2028 Logan TE Lucas Lambert brings one of the more unique physical profiles to the WV Exposure Series and should immediately grab attention once testing begins. He currently holds the #1 TE spot in the 2028 class and has rare athletic traits for someone with his size and frame. There's a lot to like already from a movement standpoint, and this setting should provide a great opportunity to evaluate where his route running and overall polish are progressing as a pass catcher. Lambert's versatility has allowed him to impact the game in several ways at the high school level, but camps like this can really highlight just how uncommon the athletic upside is. If he performs the way many expect, he could easily end up among the most talked-about athletes at the event.     2027 QB Harrison Helbig heads into the WV Exposure Series with plenty of momentum after a massive junior season at University. Currently holding the #1 QB spot in the 2027 class, Helbig has continued elevating his game and looks poised for another big season. Helbig should be right in the middle of the battle for QB MVP honors alongside some of the other top signal callers in attendance. With the way his game has progressed, it also feels like D1 attention could start ramping up sooner rather than later.     Fairmont Senior's Rudy Carrillo brings one of the better overall athletic profiles in attendance to the WV Exposure Series and has the versatility to impact the event in multiple ways. The 2027 standout is currently signed up at WR, but already holds the #2 DB ranking in the 2027 class, which says a lot about his ability on the other side of the ball as well. Carrillo should put together strong testing numbers once the combine portion begins because the explosiveness and movement skills are obvious. It'll be especially interesting to see if he works both ways during 1-on-1s since his skill set translates naturally at receiver and defensive back. With the type of athlete he is, Carrillo feels like a strong bet to leave Sunday among the top overall performers.     2028 RB Brian Poindexter Jr has already put together two productive seasons at North Marion and continues to prove he's one of the top running backs in his class. What stands out most is the burst, quickness, and overall fluidity he brings as an athlete, which should translate well during combine testing and position drills at the WV Exposure Series. Poindexter is the type of RB who can create problems in space, especially during 1-on-1s where linebackers are forced to match his movement ability. With the way his skill set fits the camp environment, he has a real chance to establish himself as one of the top RBs in attendance on Sunday.     2027 WR Zane Wipf brings a polished skill set into the WV Exposure Series that should translate extremely well in a camp setting. After producing at a high level already, he now heads into a new opportunity at Martinsburg with expectations for a big senior season. Wipf's route running could separate him from a lot of the WR group on Sunday because of how clean and controlled he is getting in and out of breaks. That attention to detail should make him a difficult cover during 1-on-1s, especially when paired with his experience and confidence as a pass catcher. There's a strong chance Wipf ends the day firmly in the WR Top Performer conversation if he handles business the way we expect.     2028 Keyser RB Dominik Crawford adds even more talent to an already loaded 2028 group heading into the WV Exposure Series. Keyser has used him in a hybrid role over the past two seasons, and that versatility should become especially noticeable once the 1-on-1s begin. Crawford brings legitimate receiving ability out of the backfield, which can create matchup problems against defenders trying to handle him in space. There's already plenty to like about the skill set, but this camp allows him to separate himself even more against a strong RB group. If Crawford performs the way he's capable of, he could push himself near the top of the position by the end of the day.     There's plenty of intrigue surrounding what 2027 George Washington DB Demajaih Spencer can do at the WV Exposure Series because the athletic tools are already there. He has established himself as one of the higher-ranked players at the position entering the event, and Sunday gives him another opportunity to show why. Spencer moves well and has the type of athleticism that should translate during both testing and coverage work. One of the bigger evaluations will be how he handles the physical side of competition against bigger receivers throughout the day. If he competes aggressively and tests the way he's capable of, Spencer should leave camp with a strong overall showing.     Linsly TE David Popper could end up being one of the more interesting under-the-radar evaluations at the WV Exposure Series. Linsly primarily used him as a blocker last season, but there were enough flashes on tape as a receiving threat to create real curiosity about what he can do in a camp setting. This event should provide a much better opportunity to evaluate Popper as a pass catcher and see how comfortable he looks running routes and working in space. There's some untapped upside there that hasn't fully been showcased yet on Friday nights, and if Popper takes advantage of the extra opportunities during drills and 1-on-1s, he could leave camp as a much more recognizable name in the 2028 class.     2027 LB Parker Bigelow has been one of the more productive defenders at Fairmont Senior over the past two seasons and now heads into a major senior year with plenty of momentum. The production on film already speaks for itself, so a big part of this camp will be getting verified measurements and seeing how the physical profile matches the on-field movement ability. Bigelow plays with a downhill mentality and brings the type of toughness you want from a middle linebacker, but the WV Exposure Series should also provide a strong look at his overall athleticism. This will be especially true during all three portions of the camp, where evaluators can get a clearer picture of his long-term ceiling as a prospect.     2027 RB Seth Robinson has a great opportunity to elevate himself at the WV Exposure Series after putting together a strong junior season at Elkins. Playing in the Wing-T can limit the amount of exposure RBs get in the passing game, which makes this camp an important chance for Robinson to show more of his overall skill set. There's real curiosity about how he'll look during drills and 1-on-1s as a pass catcher because the physical profile already stands out at 6'1 215. Robinson also feels like one of the more intriguing athletes to watch during combine testing, given his size and build. A strong all-around performance could go a long way toward boosting his stock heading into his senior year.     2027 WR Arden Marshall has been a player who flashes intriguing upside every time you watch him compete. Now heading into a new opportunity at Martinsburg, he'll be stepping into one of the deeper WR groups in the state, where earning reps won't come easily. Marshall's burst and explosiveness have consistently stood out, especially in short-area situations where he can separate quickly and make defenders miss. The next layer of development will be seeing if he can continue improving his straight-line speed and overall downfield threat ability. Camp settings tend to favor receivers with quickness and confidence, so Marshall has a good chance to make some noise if he strings together strong reps throughout the day.     2027 QB Isaiah Heflin brings plenty of experience into the WV Exposure Series after producing as a dual-threat QB at Robert C. Byrd for the past three seasons. The athletic ability is already well established, but this camp will provide a valuable opportunity to get a closer look at the arm talent and overall passing ability in a competitive setting. Heflin should also be one of the more interesting QBs to watch during testing because the movement skills are obvious. There's potential for him to eventually project as more than just a QB at the next level, depending on how his development continues. If Heflin throws the ball well and tests the way many expect, he could leave camp with a lot more attention surrounding his future upside.     2027 Hedgesville RB Chris Williams is one of the more underrated names heading into the WV Exposure Series and a player we've quietly liked for a while. Hedgesville saw some good things from him during his junior season, and with a new coaching staff taking over, Williams looks like someone the Eagles can build around in 2026. The athletic profile should translate well in a camp environment, especially during testing, where he has a chance to put together strong numbers. Williams also has the type of skill set that can stand out during RB 1-on-1s because of his movement ability. If he performs the way he's capable of, Williams could easily emerge as one of the bigger surprises among the top performers on Sunday.

The WV Exposure Series is nearly here, and the final group of names heading into Sunday brings plenty of intrigue across every position group. From established ranked prospects looking to strengthen their standing to under-the-radar players hoping to force their way into the conversation, this event creates a valuable opportunity for athletes to make a statement before the offseason fully shifts toward summer workouts and team camps. Strong camp performances can change perception quickly, especially in competitive settings where players are matched up directly against quality talent from around the state. With a mix of proven names, rising prospects, and intriguing newcomers set to compete, Sunday should provide plenty of storylines and several athletes capable of leaving the event with much more attention surrounding their name.
