Why West Virginia's Offensive Line Suddenly Feels Like The Season's Swing Unit

As fall camp looms, the offensive line's depth and experience are expected to shine under the guidance of new coach Rick Trickett, positioning them for a strong season ahead.

Fall camp is almost here, and the offensive line might be the most interesting room on the board.

This group has been turned over again, but there’s real substance here. The Mountaineers brought back their two best offensive line performers from last season, added five players with FBS starting experience, and then landed what’s being described as arguably the best offensive line recruit in school history. On top of that, they paid up to bring in Rick Trickett to run the room.

That’s a lot of talent, and a lot of options.

The eligible group is deep, too: Malik Agbo, Landen Livingston, Nick Krahe, Devin Vass, Wes King, Carsten Casady, Cameron Griffin, Deshawn Woods, Amare Grayson, Raymond Kovalesky, Josh Aisosa, Andreas Hunter, Trevor Bigelow, Camden Goforth, Lamarcus Dillard, Rhett Morris, Aidan Woods, Kevin Brown and Jonas Muya.

There’s also a pretty clear snapshot of who has already logged meaningful work. In 2025 FBS snaps, Amare Grayson led the way with 1,008, followed by Cam Griffin at 971, Nick Krahe at 860, Carsten Casady at 774, Landen Livingston at 754, Wes King at 683, Devin Vass at 420, Malik Agbo at 182 and Josh Aisosa at 47.

The PFF grades from 2025 tell a similar story at the top. Carsten Casady posted a 72.1, Amare Grayson a 68.5, Wes King a 66.2, Landen Livingston a 64.7, Cam Griffin a 64.6, Nick Krahe a 63.5, Malik Agbo a 57.2, Devin Vass a 55.3 and Josh Aisosa a 47.9.

So why should this room be good? Because the ingredients are all there. The Mountaineers kept their best pieces, added experienced bodies from the FBS level, and stacked the room with enough talent that even if a couple of players don’t hit, there should still be a path to a strong starting five.

And the case for concern is thin. The only real question is how quickly all of these pieces fit together, but that process already started in the spring, and it included the new coach. With the summer behind them and fall camp ahead, there’s not much left to hide behind.

No excuses.

Will Griers Next Football Move Will Hit Home For WVU Fans

Will Griers next football step comes after a playing career that took him from West Virginia to the NFL and, most recently, into a familiar stop with the Cowboys. The former Mountaineers quarterback has retired from playing and moved into coaching, a transition that fits the kind of football life he has built over the years, one that already included multiple seasons in Dallas as a backup quarterback.

For WVU fans, the move carries an easy thread to follow because Grier is not walking into an unfamiliar building. He already knows the Cowboys offense, the people around it and the rhythm of that organization, and his path now mirrors the kind of player-to-coach rise Dallas has seen before. It is a new chapter for Grier, but one that still keeps him close to the same NFL stage he has been around for a while. [Read more 🡒]

What Joson Sanon Just Revealed Should Fire Up WVU Fans

Joson Sanons arrival gives West Virginia another intriguing piece to build around for the 2026-27 season, and it is easy to see why the former St. Johns guard and Arizona State transfer has already caught attention. With three years of eligibility left under the new NCAA rules, he brings both long-term upside and immediate scoring potential to a roster that expects him to play a much larger offensive role.

Sanon made it clear he views WVU as the best place for his development, and that matters for a program trying to stack talent with purpose. He should have the ball in his hands more often and be asked to do more than he did before, which is exactly the kind of opportunity that can reshape a players trajectory, whether he stays in Morgantown for the long haul or eventually weighs his next step after the season.
