Barry Brunetti, a, shall we say, highly coveted dual-threat quarterback, has told WVU he’ll be part of the 2010 recruiting class.

“I just felt like (West Virginia) was the place where I can come in, compete early and play early. That’s the main question I asked: ‘Can I come in and compete with the position open?’ and they said, ‘Yes,’ they’ll give me a shot,” said Brunetti, The Commercial Appeal’s 2008-09 offensive player of the year. “I got that straight from the head coach, coach (Bill) Stewart, that I can compete.”

As a junior last season, Brunetti accounted for 1,955 total yards (704 rushing, 1,251 passing) and 36 touchdowns (18 rushing, 18 passing), leading MUS to a 13-0 record and the Division 2-AA state championship.
