Originally posted on WV Sports Now | By Mike Asti | Last updated 12/12/23

Most of the WVU offensive line will be back in Morgantown next season. Three more lineman have committed to remaining Mountaineers next season.

Nick Malone, Jay Williams IV and Nick Krahe have new deals with West Virginia’s NIL collective Country Roads Trust in place. These three now join fellow offensive lineman Wyatt Milum and Tomas Rimac to keep most of WVU’s strong line together.

Keeping as much of the line intact is obviously a big deal for an offense led by its ground game, both with the quarterback and running backs. As expected, center Zach Frazier will be pursuing the NFL in the upcoming NFL Draft as he recovers from surgery.

Most importantly, Garrett Greene, Jahiem White, Kole Taylor, Traylon Ray and Rodney Gallagher will also remain stars of the offense. There are others locked in as well.

For a related story, Mike Asti explains why keeping core players was the top priority for WVU this offseason.
