Mountaineers add commitment from St. Frances receiver

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Rivals three-star receiver Randy Fields committed to West Virginia on Sunday, tweeting “Country Roads Take Me Home.”

The 6-foot-3 Baltimore product is entering his second season at St. Frances Academy, the same school to which West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen’s son Logan recently transferred.
