West Virginia football lands recruit commit named SirPaul ‘Jesus in Cleats’ Cheeks

11 hours ago 1

The West Virginia Mountaineers have officially added the greatest name in the history of their football recruiting.

SirPaul Cheeks committed to WVU on Tuesday.

Even better, he goes by the nickname "Jesus in Cleats."

Potential blasphemy aside, that's pretty sweet.

SirPaul is a running back from Chesterfield Varina High School in Virginia.

He's 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds, and his other finalists were Virginia Tech, Kentucky, Pittsburgh and Minnesota.

In his junior season, Cheeks had 1,495 all-purpose yards and 18 touchdowns to go along with six interceptions.

Cheeks also runs the 100-meter dash, with a personal best of 10.63 seconds.
