[QUOTE="Vernon, post: 147343742, member: 1034769"] MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Nick Kwiatkoski never expected to become an NFL player when he signed to play with West Virginia University in 2011, but circumstances can sometimes change. Kwiatkoski believes the growth and development that he made during his five years spent at WVU helped turn him into the person he's become today, and consequently, he feels compelled to give something back to the place that has done so much for him. Working with Kyle Poland and [URL='https://wvusports.com/staff-directory/john-patterson/3151']John Patterson[/URL] in the Mountaineer Athletic Club, Kwiatkoski recently made a significant leadership gift to the football program that now places him in the Summit Society – WVU athletics' philanthropic giving group which recognizes donors making transformational gifts to help impact Mountaineer athletics. For Kwiatkoski, it was about helping a place that really helped him during an important time in his life. "I had a blast during my time there," he said recently. "I never expected to get a Division I offer and when I arrived at West Virginia, I wasn't one of those guys who was saying, 'I'm going to go to the NFL.' I was just happy to be there when I got on campus, and just going through (strength and conditioning coach) [URL='https://wvusports.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/mike-joseph/4445']Mike Joseph[/URL]'s program in the weight room it brought out a side of me I didn't know I had.
