West Virginia Football: Player ratings if NCAA Football 19 existed
By Phil Poling
Offensive Line
Yodny Cajuste, Left Tackle | 89 OVR: At 6-foot-5, 321 pounds, Yodny Cajuste is the prototypical left tackle. He missed the 2017 season due to injury, but has plenty of experience, having started 19 of 20 career games. The senior is expected to bounce back and was named to the 2018 preseason Big 12 team.
Josh Sills, Left Guard | 81 OVR: Josh Sills is a bully at the guard position, having started 5 at both right and left a season ago. Listed at 6-foot-6 and 320 pounds, the left side of the WVU offensive line is one of the biggest in the country.
Matt Jones, Center | 84 OVR: Matt Jones isn’t typically considered small, but in relation to the rest of the Mountaineer offensive lineman, he is. The 6-foot-3 junior started all 13 games a season ago, but is predicted to be in a position battle with sophomore Jacob Buccigrossi.
Isaiah Hardy, Right Guard | 80 OVR: Proceeding with another massive lineman for the Mountaineers, Isaiah Hardy stands 6-foot-6 and weighs 335 pounds. The Lackawanna-transfer added depth at both guard and tackle last season, seeing action in 12 games.
Colton McKivitz, Right Tackle | 88 OVR: Rounding out one of the biggest offensive lines in the country is junior right tackle Colton McKivitz. The 6-foot-7, 300-pound preseason All-American (Phil Steele, third-team) has started 23 career games for the Mountaineers.
Key Reserves (OVR): Kelby Wickline (80), Jacob Buccigrossi (79)
