West Virginia University Men's Soccer Recruiting

Start with Dan Stratford, the head coach. The men's staff is small, with 2 assistant coaches alongside the head coach, so the head coach almost certainly reads recruiting mail personally. Copy the assistants so the whole staff sees the same message.

As general context, NCAA Division I is the highest level of college soccer. D1 programs may offer athletic scholarships, and most D1 rosters are largely settled a year or more before a recruiting class enrolls. For a program ranked where West Virginia University sits, expect the staff to be evaluating early and hearing from many players, so lead with your strongest verifiable results and a short highlight link.
