But here we are, in mid-August and William Crest could be a wildcard on the football field. Crest is is Morgantown, with the West Virginia football team, and will be lining up at wide receiver.
Crest originally came to WVU in 2014 as a heralded recruit out of Dunbar High School in Baltimore, Md., the same high school which produced West Virginia legend Tavon Austin. That connection, alone, hyped up Crest to be the next great offensive superstar with the Mountaineers.
He was destined to be a quarterback, in the mold of another Mountaineer icon, Pat White.
