MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Necessity may force West Virginia to dust off its fullbacks this season.
The Mountaineers have been short-handed at tight end for much of training camp. Both Jovani Haskins and TJ Banks have worn green non-contact jerseys for the majority of August. That leaves Mike O’Laughlin as the healthiest tight end, and this month marks the first time he has been a full-go after tearing an ACL around this time last year.
“We’re getting a lot of reps with Haskins in walkthroughs, but he can’t physically bang anybody around with that shoulder right now.
