In 2012, Pete Carroll shocked many fans by taking Bruce Irvin with the 15th selection. If you are a fan of West Virginia, you know Bruce. Quarterbacks in the Big East knew Bruce and every time Bruce recorded a sack, quarterbacks were greeted with chants of “BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE”.
Tavon Austin remains the single most exciting player I have ever seen play for West Virgina. He put up the single best game ever.
He ran a 4.34 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine and wowed scouts with his ability to catch the ball and quickly get up to speed.
