MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia won’t undergo its first full-contact practice until later this week but merely putting on shoulder pads Tuesday had Dravon Askew-Henry juiced.
“I don’t want to kill ‘em because they’re my teammates, but I can’t wait to hit somebody.”
Nine days shy of a year since the free safety leaped for a pass and came down to a torn ACL, he’s hungry to compensate for lost time, though the key throughout his recovery was ensuring time wasn’t wasted.
Askew-Henry soaked up encouragement from former West Virginia teammate Karl Joseph, who only months before became the NFL’s 14th overall pick while rebounding from his own ACL injury.
