Tight end Wesco’s breakout season continues with first home touchdown

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. – In a way, senior tight end Trevon Wesco’s first career touchdown at Mountaineer Field was entirely appropriate.

For three years, he was an invisible part of West Virginia’s offense, used almost exclusively as an extra blocker. And on his long-awaited 33-yard touchdown reception from Will Grier, Wesco was an invisible man to TCU’s defense.

Despite being an impossible-to-miss 6-foot-4 and 280 pounds, none of the four Horned Frogs who could have stopped Wesco before he reached the end zone noticed him jetting down the sideline on a wheel route. The only thing that could have prevented him from scoring was the very center of the solar system.
