The move was not fully surprising, although it is always tough to swallow losing an instate prospect. Maverick Wolfley will likely play linebacker with the Akron Zips, where he would have tried to make it as a fullback with the Mountaineers.
The name ‘Wolfley’ screams football. Maverick’s brother, Stone, remains on the WVU football team. He plays defensive lineman and is a redshirt sophomore. At 6-foot-4, 267 pounds, Stone will try to take his cuts in the rotation this year.
A younger Wolfley brother, Jaden, is a starter at Morgantown High School. He, too, is over 6-foot tall and checks in around 265 pounds.
