Sills is the No. 455 player in the nation regardless of position, No. 17 pro-style quarterback and the No. 10 ranked player in the state of Maryland, according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
West Virginia now has two quarterbacks in the 2015 class as Sills joins three-star recruit Chris Chugunov (Skillman, NJ. Montgomery) to a class that now has 14 commitments and moved up to the nation’s No. 21 class overall and the No. 2 class in the Big 12, according to the 247Sports team rankings.
Sills is the fourth highest-ranked commitment for the class and brings an accurate arm to the field and a high football IQ after receiving some of the best training in the country.
He plays for one of the best high school teams in the country and the commitment from Sills could prove beneficial with some of his teammates following him to West Virginia in the coming years.
