Tishendorf’s Recruitment Heats Up as Mountaineers Pursue Star Defensive Player
Lakeridge, OR – As the West Virginia Mountaineers ramp up their recruitment efforts, Oregon State is in a tight race to retain prized defensive recruit Tishendorf. Under the leadership of head coach Rich Rodriguez, now in his second term with the Mountaineers, Tishendorf received an offer from the program in March, reigniting a competitive recruiting battle.
Tishendorf has expressed enthusiasm about his experience with West Virginia, noting, “Things have been going great there. Recruiting me really hard.” The Mountaineers have taken significant steps to court Tishendorf, even traveling from Morgantown to Lakeridge during the evaluation period to watch him in person.
The 6-foot-4 star is viewed differently by each program regarding his future position. Oregon State sees Tishendorf as an interior lineman, while West Virginia envisions him as a defensive end, where his size and pass-rushing skills could be utilized effectively in an edge linebacker role. Tishendorf stated, “They like my size and pass rushing ability, which they think will fit in perfectly to do many things at the edge linebacker position.”
With the recruiting landscape shifting rapidly, Tishendorf’s decision could significantly impact both programs. As the Beavers strive to keep him on board, the Mountaineers are keen on making a compelling case during this crucial period.
As the competition heats up, Tishendorf remains a coveted prospect whose next steps will be closely followed by fans and analysts alike. With Rodriguez back in action at West Virginia and ongoing interest from Oregon State, it will be fascinating to see how this story unfolds in the coming weeks.
