Dreshun Miller was a blue chip JUCO that was injured in 2019 and redshirted instead of initiating his career as a Mountaineer.At 6-1, Miller has some unique size and has been praised for his play but Fortune is much faster and has shown more of a knack for man coverage. The Mountaineers play a lot of off quarters and cover 3 in their scheme, using these guys to just sit over the top almost like a safety. I expect they’ll mostly play Miller to the boundary while using Fortune in man coverage to the wide side of the field. As a reminder if you haven’t seen, here’s how they like to align to TE trips formations:The boundary corner is almost a deep ½ safety with help underneath from the weakside linebacker, who becomes almost a flat corner. To shore things up in the box, to the extent they even need to given how effective the Stills bros are, the free safety shades over to shadow the tight end and becomes a hybrid linebacker near the box.All that to say, the Mountaineers bracket the boundary a lot and trust the far corner who’s further away from the quarterback to be the guy asked to hold up without safety help. Both jobs are easier then teams like Oklahoma, TCU, or Texas that want the boundary corner to play press-man so the boundary safety can help against the run.MeasurablesDreshun Miller: 6-1, 190.
