  10/02/19 - Darius Stills, Sr/2021, West Virginia, 6-1, 278 (DS#13 DT) + More +

  The Stills family is once again creating problems on defense at West Virginia. Linemen Dante Stills and his older brother, Darius, are among the Big 12's sack leaders and they'll look to cause more disruption when Sam Ehlinger and No. 11 Texas take on the Mountaineers on Saturday. Their father is former all-Big East and NFL Pro Bowl linebacker Gary Stills, who played at West Virginia from 1996 to 1998. The elder Stills had 26 career sacks, tied for the second most in school history. He had 12 in 1997, including four in one game against Marshall. His sons have a long way to go before catching him. At least they're making a dent.

"It's very special because it's very rare you get to play with your brother at this high of a level," Darius Stills said. "Whenever I see him make a play I get excited and vice versa. It's surreal, honestly." Dante Stills, a 6-foot-3, 303-pound sophomore, has started the last two games and has four sacks, one more than he had all of last season in a backup role. Darius Stills blocked a field goal in the opener against James Madison. He has three sacks and three starts this season. The junior, who is 2 inches shorter and 10 pounds lighter, wasn't as heavily recruited as his younger brother out of Fairmont Senior High School, about 15 minutes from West Virginia's campus. Dante Stills received scholarship offers from West Virginia and other schools as a high school sophomore, but the Mountaineers didn't go after Darius until late, and that was after he'd already committed to Rutgers, believing an offer from West Virginia would never come. - AP College Football

The junior hit a season-long field goal of 44 yards, while also connecting from 22 and 37. He averaged 62.8 yards per kick off in six attempts, resulting in four touchbacks. - Big 12 Football

James had a 20-yard touchdown catch and a career-long catch of 51 yards in the win. He returned three kickoffs for 50 yards and a long of 27. - Big 12 Football

  08/22/19 - T.J. Simmons, rSr/2021, West Virginia, 6-1, 208 (DS#71 WR) + More +

  West Virginia wide receiver T.J. Simmons is embracing the chance to lead a unit that lost most of its production. An afterthought last season, Simmons is now the focal point of an inexperienced group still trying to fill out a depth chart under new head coach Neal Brown. "No pressure," Simmons said. "I enjoy it because it keeps me accountable." Simmons is a junior who transferred from Alabama after the 2016 season. He started half of West Virginia's games in 2018 and finished fifth on the team with 341 receiving yards on 28 catches.

Tevin Bush is the only other returning wide receiver who had more than 10 receptions. Also in the mix are redshirt freshman Sam James and Florida State graduate transfer George Campbell, who had 13 career catches. Brown also hopes Temple sophomore transfer Sean Ryan will be granted immediate eligibility. Simmons will try to continue a decade-long tradition of high-impact pass catchers that included Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin, Kevin and Ka'Raun White and, over the past two seasons, David Sills V and Gary Jennings Jr. - AP College Football

  08/08/19 - Scottie Young, rSr/2022, West Virginia, 5-11, 199 (DS#63 SS) + More +

  Scottie Young Jr. changed numbers this offseason, from 19 to 6. The Arizona Wildcats junior considers it part of his "reincarnation." He's still a football-loving, hard-hitting safety with natural playmaking instincts. He's also a changed man, according to multiple UA coaches and players. "He's a much different player, a much different guy than he was when I first got here," Arizona coach Kevin Sumlin said. "Just how he handles himself, how he talks to the players, how he talks to everybody else. I've been really pleased with his progress." After a head-turning training camp as a freshman in 2017 that put him on the fast track to a starting spot, Young got in trouble off the field. He did not immediately miss any game time because of it. But sometime after Sumlin became coach in January 2018, it was determined that Young would be suspended from all offseason team activities.

He was reinstated about a week into last year's training camp but had to sit out the opener against BYU. Young could have elected to transfer. He could have complained about the punishment on social media. Instead, he looked inward, reflecting on his "trials and tribulations" and determining how he could learn from them. "I was upset - upset with myself," Young said. "I put that on myself. So I had to stay level-headed. I had to stay focused. I always knew that it was going to be a bigger purpose, and here we are today." - Arizona Star News

  08/01/19 - Josh Growden, rSr/2020, West Virginia, 6-1, 199 (DS#34 P) + More +

  LSU punter Josh Growden has entered the NCAA transfer portal, a source confirmed with The Advocate, which leaves the team with one veteran punter on the roster. The 6-foot-2, 199-pound senior had a role on special teams as the program's short-range punter, complimenting the long-range game of junior punter Zach Von Rosenberg. He also held field goals during the 2018 season for former placekicker Cole Tracy. Growden, a native of Clare, South Australia, averaged 34.9 yards per punt on 16 punts in 2018, and he was named to Southeastern Conference All-Freshman team as a sophomore in 2016. - Baton Rouge Advocate

  2019 PRESEASON WUERFFEL TROPHY WATCH LIST: Evan Staley, West Virginia, Junior, K,...Staley handled the Mountaineers' field goal, extra point and kickoff duties for the 2018 season after taking over in the Oklahoma State game during the 2017 season. He has currently hit 12 straight field goals, dating back to the Baylor game on Oct. 25, 2018. He connected on 16-of-20 field goal attempts last season and 22-of-27 career attempts. He hit a career-long 49 yard field goal against Kansas and Syracuse in 2018 and was 9-of-13 from longer than 40 yards. He also finished with 74 kickoffs for 4,945 yards, averaging 56.2 yards per kickoff attempt and had 24 of his kicks result in touchbacks.

Last year, Staley ranked No. 2 in the Big 12 in overall scoring, No. 2 by kickers only and No. 25 nationally. He was No. 3 in the Big 12 in field goal percentage. He finished with a career-best 4-of-4 performance against Syracuse in the Camping World Bowl. That performance was a Camping World Bowl record and his 49-yarder also was a bowl record and tied Paul Woodside's WVU bowl record. - West Virginia Football
