Askew-Henry had the leadership, experience and all-out skills to be one of the best safeties in the Big 12 Conference and in the entire country. Unfortunately for the Mountaineers, and more so Askew-Henry, himself, he will miss the entire campaign.
Askew-Henry was definitely one of the most consistent and reliable players in the Dana Holgorsen-era at West Virginia. He started all 26 games in the past two years and was in the top five in team tackles a year ago.
Askew-Henry was a quiet leader, who let his performance on the field do the talking. He was most certainly the most valuable player on the WVU defense, especially because the Mountaineers lost most of their veteran guys to graduation following the 2015 season.
