Brown and West Virginia have a history together. Brown attended the now defunct Eastern Christian Academy, which was the former home to stars Daikiel Shorts, David Sills and current Philadelphia Eagles runningback Wendell Smallwood. The Mountaineers’ coaches offered Leddie Brown very early in his football career and he has never forgotten that fact.

“I have a great relationship with West Virginia," Brown said. "Their whole coaching staff loves me. I really enjoy being around all the coaches and the players at West Virginia."

Brown chose the Mountaineers over offers from Florida, North Carolina, Maryland and Tennessee.
