No. 10: Kevin White, Wide Receiver | 2014

Kevin White built a relationship with WVU that wound up being great for not only the present, but also (WVU’s) future. Let’s talk about White’s past, though.

White racked up 109 catches for 1,447 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior in Morgantown. Impressive, right? If every JUCO transfer worked out like White, the Mountaineers would always be in title contention. At 6-foot-3, his frame coupled with his speed and ability to attack the football made him not only a great college player, but also a premiere NFL prospect; he was drafted seventh overall by the Chicago Bears.

He did more than just catch jump balls, though. Tunnel screens were often called in Holgorsen’s offense and White would pluck them from the air and be off to the races — he’d win a lot of those races, too.

His catches and receiving yards from 2014 both rank second all-time in WVU’s record books, and he hauled in a single-game WVU-record 16 receptions against Texas that season. The Maryland Terrapins surrendered 216 receiving yards to White, the third-most yards for a Mountaineer in a single game.
