Grad transfer defensive lineman Reuben Jones ‘like getting an IV’

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Expect Reuben Jones to be in the mix for West Virginia’s defense this season.

Like Kenny Bigelow and Jabril Robinson a year ago, Jones is a graduate transfer who will make the Mountaineers defensive line better with his arrival.

“It’s like getting an IV when you’re dehydrated,” said defensive coordinator Vic Koenning. “I feel a lot better watching him run around out there.”

Jones arrived from Michigan this summer. He appeared in 11 games during his three years as a Wolverine.

“Jones is a high-effort guy,” WVU coach Neal Brown said Thursday.
