Residents all over Charleston, W.Va., are scratching their heads. Ryan Switzer isn't one of them.The junior prospect isn't asking why West Virginia hasn't offered him a scholarship when so many other schools have. The 5-foot-10, 170-pound ESPNU Watch List athlete is just happy to be a big-time college prospect. His hometown fans haven't taken the same approach."I'm just honored and blessed to have this opportunity," Switzer said when asked about not having a scholarship offer from the nearby Mountaineers. "I'm not real stingy like that."If West Virginia hasn't offered by now, it seems unlikely they will. But if they did come calling officially, the lifelong Mountaineer fans said he'd listen. However, don't think Switzer's childhood favorite school would instantly be his natural selection. And don't think his family, who are also lifelong Mountaineer football fans, would pressure him to commit to WVU."No, not at all," he said. "My mom and my dad are both realistic. Some people don't know (how good other schools are) because they don't see all the other places and facilities."Switzer saw just how great Penn State's facilities were last week. The Nittany Lions are one of seven schools to offer him."I went up and saw the Alabama game," Switzer said. "That kind of blew my mind a little bit, the atmosphere and everything."Switzer said he talks to Penn State coaches three or four times a week. He said the Nittany Lions have stood out among the other schools that have offered him: Florida State, Purdue, Wake Forest, Ohio, Marshall and NC State."We've built up a pretty good relationship," Switzer said of Penn State.Switzer said he's not sure if he might commit to Penn State anytime soon. He said he'd prefer to let the process play out and see what other offers may come. Stanford, Oklahoma, Oregon, Florida, Georgia and Alabama have shown strong interest.Smith isn't letting all the recruiting talk affect his junior season. His team is No. 1 in West Virginia, thanks in part to his production, which includes over 1,000 rushing yards, over 1,000 more all-purpose yards, 15 touchdowns and three interceptions, two of which have been returned for touchdowns.Switzer played receiver last season before being moved to tailback in 2011. He also plays cornerback on defense. He'll likely be a slot receiver in college.Switzer made the three-hour drive from Charleston to Morgantown on Saturday to see the Mountaineers in action against LSU. He's done so more times than he can count, including two times this season to see coach Dana Holgorsen's high-flying offense."I think I'd fit well in it in the spread," Switzer said.Switzer can quickly name his all-time favorite West Virginia players. Former quarterbacks Steve Slaton and Pat White quickly come to mind.Whether or not he'll be able to follow in their footsteps remains to be seen.
