Miami Northwestern High running back Daquan Hargrett said today he will commit to play football for West Virginia University.

"It seemed the [WVU] coaches were down to earth and genuine," Hargrett said in an interview with the Gazette. "I won't regret the decision. [WVU] is a championship team and I'm a championship player."

Northwestern was named the nation's top program last season after winning Florida's 6A state championship.

The 5-foot-8, 175-pound back said he turned down offers from Iowa, Clemson, Minnesota, South Florida, Buffalo and Florida International.

He rushed for 882 yards on 117 carries with 12 touchdowns last season. He also caught eight passes for 161 yards and one score.
