MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Someday soon, on an NFL defense, Kyzir White might line up at safety or outside linebacker.
Next season, on West Virginia’s defense, he’ll be counted upon to play both.
With eight starters graduated, and the medical staff yet to grant free safety Dravon Askew-Henry a full-go return from ACL surgery, White looms as one of the few known components for defensive coordinator Tony Gibson.
At 6-foot-2, 220 pounds, White once again will man the Spur safety, a hybrid spot demanding the physicality to take on offensive linemen and the mobility to cover receivers in the deep third.
