High-upside, two-way New England wideout headed to WVU
Charlie Hanafin arrives at West Virginia as a versatile, under-the-radar 2026 wide receiver from Dexter Southfield who also played defensive back, giving him useful toughness and field awareness. WVU’s own listing notes him as a 6-0, 181-pound freshman and a team captain who earned All-Independent School League honors, while recruiting coverage highlighted “wiggle” and vertical-potential traits that should translate well outside. He fits as a developmental, competitive receiver with special-teams upside and the kind of coachable edge that tends to travel.
