West Virginia Mountaineers College Football Preview 2021: Top Players
Best West Virginia Mountaineers Offensive Player
RB Leddie Brown, Sr.
A good all-around back over his first two seasons, the 6-0, 212-pounder took over the offense as a junior with a team-high 1,010 yards and nine scores, and catching 31 passes for 202 yards and two touchdowns. Get the ball in his hands 20 times, and he’ll gain 100 rushing yards and come up with the occasional explosive pop.
2. OT Brandon Yates, Soph.
3. C/OG Zach Frazier, Soph.
4. WR Winston Wright, Jr.
5. WR Sam James, Jr.

Best West Virginia Mountaineers Defensive Player
DT Dante Stills, Sr.
His brother Darius might have a wee bit more talent for the interior, Dante puts up the bigger numbers and does a few things in a different way.
While Darius – now a Las Vegas Raider – is more of an undersized nose type, the 6-4, 276-pound Dante is a versatile tackle with 35 tackles, two sacks and 10.5 tackles for loss. He’s a lock for all-star honors again.
2. S Alonzo Addae, Sr.
3. S Sean Mahone, Sr.
4. DT Akheem Mesidor, Soph.
5. LB Josh Chandler-Semedo, Sr.
Top Incoming West Virginia Mountaineers Transfer
OT Doug Nester, Jr.
His arrival from Virginia Tech helps the line shuffle around a few parts to turn into a potential better front five. There’s already all-star talent up front with Brandon Yates at one tackle and Zach Frazier strong at either guard or center.
Now Nester tightens up the tackle situation on the right side. He’s a 6-7, 320-pound ready-made option with the versatility to play guard if needed.
