Four-year starter Brian King had a knack for the big play

(‘3 Guys Before the Game’ podcast with Brian King)

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Take a look at the West Virginia career defensive leaders and you will find Brian King at the top of the list in pass breakups by a wide margin. He leads the way with 54 and owns the single-season record with 21 in his senior season of 2003.

“That’s just because I couldn’t catch,” King said. “If I caught a couple of those, I would have had some pick-sixes like my boy Pacman (Jones).”

All joking aside, King’s hands secured one of the biggest victories of the Rich Rodriguez era at WVU in 2002.
