Syracuse Steals No. 1 Punter Jimmy Gregg Right Out of West Virginia’s Backyard

After his official visit to WVU a week ago, he told West Virginia On SI, "It would mean a lot to be a Mountaineer. A lot of my family members are Mountaineers, too."

We're still a long way away from signing day, so although he's made a verbal commitment to Syracuse, don't expect WVU to go away quietly. They'll continue to pursue up until his final decision has to be made.

During his junior season at University High School, Gregg averaged 42.7 yards per punt on 37 punts. 21 of those were downed inside the 20, nine of which were inside the 10.
