  Draft Scout by Conference









  Now entering his fifth season with West Virginia, defensive lineman and former Fairmont Senior standout Dante Stills knows he's the old man when it comes to the Mountaineer roster. And after 15 spring practices, even he admitted he was feeling as such. "It was practice nine or 10 you really start to feel it on your body," Stills said after Saturday's Gold-Blue Game. "Your hands, your fingers start to hurt - your feet, your knees … I feel old, but I'm not." Perhaps not in terms of his age, but from the perspective of playing experience, Stills is about as old as a college football player can be. A freshman All-American according to The Athletic and ESPN.com all the way back in 2018, Stills has been a constant contributor to the WVU defense in each of his four seasons.

But after mulling over leaving to enter the NFL Draft, Stills saw enough holes in his game via film to realize that he needed to return. Some of what he saw boiled down solely to effort. Lack of consistency also stuck out to him. He reiterated that those were the targets when it came to his spring work. "What I wanted to work on was consistency running to the ball," Stills said. "There were plays last year where if I saw the ball across the field, for some reason I didn't try to go get him and show some effort. So, that was my main thing this year was to run to the ball, be around the ball. That was my thing." - Charleston Gazette-Mail
