Despite fall camp being in full swing, WKU Football’s recruiting momentum continued as Fort Valley, GA athlete Noah Whittington pledged his commitment to the Hilltoppers

Whittington is 5'10 and 180 pounds and plays for the same Peach County High School team that WKU safety commit Talique Allen plays for. Whittington is listed on his commitment as a running back but also plays receiver and defensive back for the Trojans.

In 2018 Peach County went 12–3 and made it all the Georgia AAA Championship game. Whittington played in 12 games for the Trojans, rushing for 518 yards and 11 touchdowns while also catching 23 passes for 225 yards while hauling in another three touchdowns. He also played 12 games on defense hauling in 6 tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble.

Here is his highlight tape.

From what you can see Whittington has speed (he runs a 4.46 forty time) as he regularly runs past defenders. He isn’t yet rated yet by Rivals or 247 Sports but does hold offers from Army and South Alabama.

He is the fourth commitment from the Peach State joining teammate Allen, defensive back Travis Collier and running back Rashad Amos.WKU continues to recruit the Ulta talented Peach County High School team (#14 in Georgia) including teammates Justin Harris (WR) and Octavious King (OL).

Here is where WKU’s 2020 recruiting class sits after Whittington’s commitment
