Mountaineers’ defense has home-state influence

— By Sean Manning, The Dominion Post

MORGANTOWN. W.Va. — The West Virginia preseason depth chart (the one that doesn’t matter to coach Dana Holgorsen) is littered on the defensive side with home-state products.

Reese Donahue, from Cabell Midland, is entering his second season as a starter at defensive end. Next to him on the line are the Stills brothers Darius and Dante, who thrived at Fairmont Senior. Morgantown High alum Stone Wolfley adds depth at end.

At Mike linebacker is Dylan Tonkery, a redshirt sophomore from Bridgeport. Another former MHS standout, Shea Campbell, has worked his way into getting major reps at outside linebacker.
