Verbally Committed on January 7, 2017

Gmiter was the first verbal commitment of this West Virginia recruiting class, jumping on board shortly after head coach Dana Holgorsen’s contract extension was announced. Gmiter is a powerful athlete with a low center of gravity, and is the perfect candidate to develop into a nose guard in Tony Gibson’s 3-3-5 defense.
