Satterwhite’s new list comes out on the heels of his recent trip to visit WVU. He even posted about his experience in Morgantown earlier in the week, saying “great day at Dub V yesterday” on Feb. 2.

Listed at 6-foot-2 and 183 pounds, Satterwhite attends St. John’s Academy and is considered one of the top players in Washington, DC.

He’s ranked as a three-star by most national recruiting outlets, but has been awarded four stars by ESPN. In fact, ESPN has Satterwhite as one of their top 300 players.

Satterwhite received his first offer from West Virginia way back in May of 2023. To this point, WVU has beat out schools like Auburn, Boston College, Florida State, Indian, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech, Wisconsin and several others. Bill Belichick and North Carolina even recently offered Satterwhite on Jan. 17.
