On Tuesday, Oregon State defensive tackle commitment and in-state prospect Noah Tishendorf announced his decision to take an official visit to West Virginia on June 6. The 6-foot-3, 255-pound defensive linemen out of Lakeridge previously visited Oregon State for his official visit on the May 16 official visit weekend.
"The vist went amazing," Tishendorf told BeaversEdge after his trip. It was a trip that Tishendorf spent much of his time recruiting uncommitted official visitors to join the Beavers. "(I) spent the whole trip trying recruiting basically," he said. "I made real connections and friendships with all the guys."
But now, the Beavers will now have to look to hold onto Tishendorf and survive the storm that is the West Virginia Mountaineers. The Mountaineers, now under head coach Rich Rodriguez in his second stint with the program, offered Tishendorf in March.
“Things have been going great there. Recruiting me really hard,” Tishendorf recently told WVSports about the Mountaineers pursuit of him. The Mountaineers also made the long trip from Morgantown to Lakeridge during the evaluation period to see Tishendorf in person.
While Oregon State views Tishendorf as playing inside at the next level, West Virginia views him as a defensive end. “They like my size and pass rushing ability, which they think will fit in perfectly to do many things at the edge linebacker position,” he told WVSports.
