MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — It is fair to wonder if the rebirth of the tight end position at West Virginia was just a one-year wonder.
Last season senior Trevon Wesco came into his own, becoming WVU’s most productive pass-catching tight end since the Don Nehlen era. The question now is whether Wesco was a generational talent, or represents a change how the position is utilized at West Virginia.
The answer to that question is complicated by the arrival of a new coaching staff that hasn’t shown a predilection for throwing to tight ends. In Neal Brown’s four seasons at Troy, his tight ends caught six passes.
