Adam Shuler must stay healthy for WVU football team

Shuler is 270-some pounds and stands at a whopping 6-foot-4. He used his size and strength to become one of the top discus throwers in the state of Florida. The Orlando Sentinel even named him the top track and field athlete a couple of years ago.

Shuler couldn’t throw the discus in college, simply because the West Virginia athletic department does not have a men’s track team. That meant that Shuler had to focus all of his time and talent on the gridiron.

Shuler played in 12 games last season as a redshirt freshman.
