Well, if WVU’s football team doesn’t have a chip on its shoulder after reading the Athlon way-too-early 2021 All-Big 12 football selections then they are beyond help when it comes to motivation.
NO Mountaineer is listed on the first team offense, defense or special teams! Only Kansas also is given that same disrespect. The other 8 Big 12 teams all have first team selections. Does Athlon think WVU is THAT bad? All the WVU fans bragging about Neal Brown's work at WVU are THAT wrong?
Not even running back Leddie Brown! He is on the second team. Behind Iowa State’s Breece Hall and Texas’ Bijan Robinson.
Dante Stills, who sent tremors through opponents as a defensive lineman last season, is relegated to second team, too. Behind TCU’s Ochaun Mathis, Iowa State’s Will McDonald and Oklahoma’s Perrion Winfrey and Isaiah Thomas.
WVU’s Akheem Mesidor is second team defensive lineman, too. Alonzo Addae is second team safety, behind Baylor’s Jalen Pitre and Iowa State’s Greg Eisworth.
WVU wide receiver Winston Wright is buried on the third team offense, as is center Zach Frazier and lineman Doug Nester. Wright gets a double-dissing by being put on the FOURTH team specialists as a kick returner.
Third team defense includes WVU linebacker Josh Chandler-Semedo.
WVU safety Sean Mahone is listed on the fourth team defense.
It’s up to the Mountaineers to prove Athlon way, way wrong. Starting September 25 at Oklahoma it’s put-up-or-shut-up time for Coach Neal Brown’s charges.
Do they Trust The Climb or prove Athlon right? I can’t wait to find out.
WVU is getting no respect. It’s time to earn it and knock the uppity Athlon off its phony pedestal!
