WVU Football Might Have Found Their New Star RB In The Backyard Brawl

After losing starting running back Jahiem White for the season against Ohio, the West Virginia Mountaineers will need to find a solution in the backfield for the rest of the 2025 season. And before The Backyard Brawl against Pitt even hit the halftime break on Saturday, WVU football may have found their man at tailback.

Tye Edwards, a redshirt senior who joined the program after a 1,000-yard season for FCS program Northern Iowa last year, was listed at third on the depth chart entering the Brawl and had seen very limited action in the first two games of the season.
