The 6-foot-3, 190-pound wide receiver/athlete made his decision today following an official visit to Morgantown earlier this month. Guers chose West Virginia over a growing list of Power Four offers that included Syracuse, UConn, Cincinnati and several other FBS programs.

Guers has the combination of size, athleticism and playmaking ability that schools were looking for. His commitment provides West Virginia with another talented athlete in its 2027 recruiting class.

In 2025, he had 35 catches for 535 yards, 15.3 yards per catch, 44.6 yards per game and 6 TD’s. He had 909 all-purpose yards, 75.8 yards per game.

“Chase’s work ethic, size and speed enable him to stretch the field and make him a deep threat and game changer,” said Head Football Coach Chuck Kutz. “He runs excellent patterns and has good hands as a possession receiver. He catches the ball well in traffic over the middle. He must be accounted for on every play, including special teams.”

With his recruitment now complete, Guers can turn his full attention toward helping Blue Mountain compete this season while continuing to develop into one of Eastern Pennsylvania’s elite playmakers before arriving in Morgantown in 2027.

The fans, the media, and the coaches each represent 1/3 of the vote.

Korey Francis (Bonner-Prendergast) and Jordyn Palmer (Westtown) have been named the winners of the Mr. and Miss PA Basketball awards for the 2025-2026 season.

Coach’s Comment: The definition of an old-school football player. Tough, physical, and hard-nosed. Height and weight measurables don’t define him, his play does. Competes with relentless effort, embraces contact, and plays with all heart. A two-way starter who makes an impact on both sides of the ball. Physical and aggressive on defense, always willing to hit, and a playmaker on offense.
