College coaches love to know about the guys who are athletic enough to get it done on the gridiron and other sports–especially a sport as athletic as basketball. These hoop stars are also stars on the gridiron and are receiving plenty of attention. Here are some of the top recruits who can flat out ball.
Bryson Singer Bryson Singer 6'3" | 210 lbs | QB Parkersburg | 2022 State WV (22) | 6’3″, 210 | Parkersburg HS
The dual-threat QB can hoop too. Bryson is very athletic on the court or gridiron. This is why he has made this list. On the court, he shows off his vertical and can dunk the basketball. He earned first-team selection by averaging 17 points and 16 rebounds. Also plays for one of the best conferences in the state (MSAC) where the toughest of competition can be found.

Jeremiah King Jeremiah King 6'1" | 200 lbs | RB Robert C. Byrd | 2022 State WV (22) | 6’1″, 200 lbs | RB | Robert C. Byrd HS
This running back is dangerous whenever he does the field or the court. He has that elite speed that can put him on the fast break to score hoops and or put up six on the scoreboard. On the court, Jeremiah can put up points in a hurry and is constantly stealing the ball away from defenders.
Trevor Lowe Trevor Lowe 6'2" | 215 lbs | QB Nitro | 2022 State WV (22) | 6’2″. 225 | QB,SS | Nitro HS
From the three-point range, the star QB is automatic. He’s got a fluid shot on the court and plays and looks bigger than his height reads. He can drain that three-point shot along with the best of them and looks like a prominent small forward. In the game that I saw Trevor had 22 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assist,s and 1 steal….yeah he was all over the court. On the gridiron, he shines too which is why is one of our top-ranked QBs.
Tariq Miller Tariq Miller 5'10" | 175 lbs | WR North Marion | 2022 State WV (22) | 5’10″ 160 lbs | WR | North Marion HS
Our second-ranked wide receiver in the class of 2022 is also a hop star. At point guard, Tariq can not only score points but also shares the rock and can rack up multiple assists per game. In the game I watched, Tariq had a beautiful shot from downtown at the three-point line. Another fluid shooter from above the three-point line. Tariq can easily put up 20 plus points per game and average about 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal per game. On the field, Tariq can make people pay, turn on the jets and take the ball into the endzone. Runs n
Eric Smith Eric Smith 6'6" | 260 lbs | DL Fairmont Senior | 2022 State WV (22) | 6’6″ 260 lbs | DL | Fairmont Senior
The big 6-6 defensive end is usually putting QBs or ball carriers in the dirt. As for the court. He is a big man that can take the ball inside the paint and score buckets like Shaq, using his size and strength to overpower defenders and score. offers for football include Marshall, Central Michigan, Air Force, and Appalachian State. Many others are showing interest.
