MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University men's basketball coach Darian DeVries has announced the signing of Braydon Hawthorne to a grant-in-aid for the 2025-26 season.
Hawthorne, a 6-foot-9, 195-pound guard/forward, from Beckley, West Virginia, is considered the top prospect in West Virginia for the class of 2025 by numerous scouting and recruiting services.
Hawthorne currently attends Huntington Expression Prep in Huntington, West Virginia, playing for coach Arkell Bruce. He is currently averaging 13 points and eight rebounds per game. Hawthorne previously attended Woodrow Wilson High in Beckley.
"We are thrilled to welcome Braydon to our Mountaineer family," DeVries said. "Braydon has tremendous upside and positional size at 6-foot-9 on the wing.
