Oakdale (Ct.) St. Thomas More 2026 Defensive end Alhassan Iddrissu has already collected a long list of scholarship offers, but now he can add West Virginia.
Iddrissu, 6-foot-8, 240 pounds, already held offers from USC, Michigan, Florida State, Texas A&M, Washington, Minnesota, Syracuse and several others, but the offer from the Mountaineers came as a surprise after a conversation with defensive line coach William Green.
“I really love this proposal because it’s a great program and school,” he said.
Green told Iddrissu he was impressed with both his size and athleticism coming off the edge.
– And my quick twitch. He thinks I fit what they’re looking for,” he said.
Iddrissu is still learning more about the football program, but he’s impressed with what he’s learned about Green and the resmol of the coaching staff at this point in the process.
“I think the coaches are going to be great and coach (Rich) Rodriguez is a great coach,” he said.
The plan at this point is to take a few trips, including Texas A&M and Syracuse, and he’s looking to stop in Morgantown to see the Mountaineers football program.
Iddrissu is looking to eventually find a college program that is focused on development and where they will make him the best version of himself.
“And willing to develop me,” he said.
