SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – West Virginia University defensive coordinator Tony Gibson is convinced fifth-year senior linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski will not be playing his final football game in this year’s Motel 6 Cactus Bowl on Saturday against Arizona State.
Far from it.
In fact, Gibson believes Kwiatkoski’s football career is actually just about to begin.
“I feel he’s going to be drafted pretty high,” the Mountaineers’ second-year defensive coordinator said. “He’s just a kid who has worked his butt off and overachieved. You look at his body from where he was when he came here to where he’s at right now, you look at his production over the last couple of years - probably the best game that he played that went unnoticed and not talked about was the K-State game.
