Like the other two prospects on this list, Darius Stills first became a starter in 2019 under new head coach Neal Brown and made the most of his opportunities.

Stills came to Morgantown as a three-star recruit and did not play in his first two seasons but burst onto the scene last season and finished with seven sacks and 46 total tackles and that earned him all Big 12 honors and started to get Stills some recognition.

The star defensive lineman is a powerful interior pass rusher with good size at 6-foot-1 and 292 pounds and can push the pocket and cause disruption.

Look for Stills to improve upon this past season and help a rising West Virginia team to earn a bowl bid in 2020.
