The WVU football team kicks off a new season on Sunday, facing the Virginia Tech Hokies. The one doing the kickoffs is Evan Staley, a native of Romney, West Virginia.
Staley is a redshirt freshman who was recently handed the opportunity to handle the kickoff duties for the Mountaineers this season.
Mike Molina, also a native of West Virginia, handled the kickoff duties a year ago. Molina is a redshirt senior who will be the WVU football team’s field goal kicker this season.
According to WV MetroNews, Staley won the kickoff job because he proved “to be the most consistent on directional kicking and hang time.
