There is always drama and suspense leading up to National Signing Day which has become the most important day to college football teams all around the country but that wasn't the case this afternoon for the West Virginia Mountaineers. Today saw Coach Holgorsen and his staff sign every committed player that was expected to sign, sign with the Mountaineers.
West Virginia failed to sign a quarterback in this class which concerns some fans but don't forget that WVU has Will Grier (JR), Chris Chugunov (SO), and Cody Saunders (FR). There is youth at the position but as we have seen before you can never have enough experience at the quarterback position.
Two strengths that West Virginia walked away with in this class are defensive line and defensive backfield which should make defensive coordinator Tony Gibson a very happy man. The defensive line …show more content…
Former QB/WR David Sills left the program to attend a JUCO school in California but in a surprise move made his way back to WVU and looks to have the inside track to start at WR this season with Gibson and Shorts leaving.

Roberson has a special skill set that Holgorsen likes in his receivers but Maiden could benefit the most with his size (6'6) especially in the red zone. Again though don't forget that West Virginia will also have electrifying threat Steven Smothers, who redshirted last season.
Speaking of electrifying, Tevin Bush is just that when he has the ball in his hands. Bush can be used similar to the way that Coach Holgorsen used Tavon Austin but Bush will also be a big contributor in the special teams department. Alec Sinkerfield will bring more depth to the already loaded running back position but might have the best pass catching ability on any back on the
