MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Austin Kendall and Jack Allison took similar paths to West Virginia with the intention of achieving the same goal.
As Kendall noted, in his three years behind Heisman Trophy winners Baker Mayfield and then Kyler Murray at Oklahoma, “I didn’t get to play a whole lot. That’s the biggest thing why I’m here right now. I’m excited to get my chance and I’m ready to go.”
Allison, who transferred from Miami two years ago, had to bide his time behind starter Will Grier, another Heisman candidate in his own right. Now that Grier is gone, he’s finally ready to be a starter, too.
