MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia’s football team will continue turning to the next man standing — provided that there is anybody left to stand.
Bandit linebacker Quondarius Qualls is the latest Mountaineer to be shelved for the season, coach Neal Brown announced on Tuesday. Qualls joins fellow bandit VanDarius Cowan with a season-ending injury, leaving the position in the hands of repurposed Mike linebacker Dylan Tonkery and true freshman Jared Bartlett.
Bartlett made his collegiate debut at Baylor and made a good first impression.
“Bartlett did a great job. He’s extremely athletic and explosive,” said defensive coordinator Vic Koenning.
