New Additions to the 2026 Top 200

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2026 rankings have grown to 250 total prospects in the state of West Virginia, with many new athletes seeing themselves place among them. After a summer of getting out to camps, watching film, and new college offers, here are the new players who made the 2026 Top 200.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["894896"],"_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-686ee7f8022e9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">2026 PikeView OL [player_tooltip player_id='894896' first='Kit' last='Bishop'] has been on the Watch List for a while now as we waited on him to post game film, and he finally delivered heading into his senior year. Bishop possesses great size for a college OL prospect in the 6'4 305 range, which should bring him some next-level opportunities. His size translates to power in the Panthers' running game out of their Wing offense, consistently pushing his man off the line of scrimmage. Bishop is an unknown as a pass blocker given their scheme, but the physical intangibles are there to warrant college looks this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1523593"],"_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-686ee7f802357"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1523593' first='Brody' last='Scott'] had a very productive junior season for Sissonville in 2024, which may have been overshadowed by a tough season for the Indians. He was by far their top playmaker and a go-to target in the passing offense, where he totaled over 1,400 all-purpose yards. Even with a standout junior campaign, Scott is still flying under the radar as a prospect and is currently unoffered according to his X account.

There wasn't a ton of game film to evaluate Pritt, but in the available film, he clearly showed the potential to play at the next level and warrant a Top 25 WR ranking. He has the size and athleticism to climb higher in the rankings with a productive senior season and more of a sample size of film. Pritt is a long target with reliable hands and has also proved to be a punishing blocker on the outside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1154019"],"_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-686ee7f8023ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Princeton will have one of the best offensive line units in the state this season, with some highly ranked prospects, and 2026 OL [player_tooltip player_id='1154019' first='Isaac' last='Fowler'] will be in the mix of them. If he doesn't end up starting for the Tigers this fall, Fowler will be a key depth piece for that group and is someone who would start for many programs in the state. In the 6'4 310 range, Fowler has the ideal size to play at the next level with physical tools to continue to mold.

Beam was a productive player for Philip Barbour in 2024, but will make his way to Elkins for a three-headed monster rushing attack in their Wing-T system. He was a 1,000-yard rusher as a junior for the Colts and should fit in well in Elkins' scheme.

If he puts it all together during his senior year, Papa'i'i has a chance to earn some scholarship opportunities this fall with the physical traits that he possesses. He has the length and frame to significantly transform into a different-looking athlete after a couple of years in a college program and is a late bloomer worthy of taking a flyer on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1605755"],"_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-686ee7f8024c3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Two Parkersburg South 2026 offensive linemen made their debut inside the Top 200 of the rankings this summer, with the second being [player_tooltip player_id='1605755' first='Aden' last='Swisher'].

Koroneos is the lightning to classmate [player_tooltip player_id='862785' first='Isaac' last='Martin']'s thunder in the rushing attack, and could also play safety at the next level, where he ranked third on the team in tackles.

If he had some more length, he'd place much higher in the rankings, but he is still worthy of college attention. McCallister claimed an offer from WV State earlier this summer and posted 50 tackles and 8 TFLs as a junior.

Size will be the biggest question for Parker from colleges, and which position he translates best to at the next level, but he proved at Concord that he has the raw athleticism to fit in somewhere.

Marks threw for nearly 2,000 yards and 27 touchdowns during his first season as a starter with just 3 interceptions. He can stretch the field vertically, averaging nearly 18 yards per completion with a quality 6'2 frame that he can continue to fill out.
