MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Skeptics would not be blamed for not believing Adam Stilley is on the West Virginia football team.
Stilley’s face is untouched by age. He looks boyish enough that it’s conceivable he would be carded for trying to get a ticket to an R-rated movie. His size – an even 6-foot and 291 pounds – does not translate to Big 12 football, especially not when he tells someone he’s an offensive lineman.
“There’s always doubters,” Stilley said. “But you have to use it as motivation.”
At least his story is slightly more believable than it was when he was a true freshman who weighed 258 pounds soaking wet.
