National Analyst Projects WVU OL Wyatt Milum as Possible First Round Draft Pick
Every week means another high grade for WVU offensive lineman Wyatt Milum. And now one analyst has seen enough to project Milum as a possible first round draft pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
“Wyatt Milum is playing himself into the first round conversation. He’s been the best offensive lineman in the country,” said PFF’s Max Chadwick.

Recently, Milum earned the highest grade of any offensive lineman for his work in West Virginia’s win at Oklahoma State. Milum was a 90.8 in that game and was at 88.7 overall entering the week.
Of course, Milum is no stranger to receiving recognition and entered the season on numerous watch lists.

With Zach Frazier and Doug Nester embarking on their professional careers, Milum is now the next Mountaineer in line to advance from WVU to the NFL.
Despite the recognition and being WVU’s highest rated player in College Football 25, is it possible Milum is actually underrated? Apparently David Kenyon of Bleacher Report thinks so, placing Milum on his list of the six underrated players poised to outshine their ratings in the popular video game.
“It’s safe to say Wyatt Milum is a priority NFL prospect right now. Last season, per Pro Football Focus, the West Virginia left tackle yielded nine pressures and zero sacks in 337 pass-blocking snaps. Checking in at 6’6″ and 317 pounds, Milum has a prototypical build for an NFL tackle. He’ll also offer plenty of experience, considering he enters the 2024 campaign with 32 career starts at WVU,” wrote Kenyon.
WVU recruited Milum as a consensus four-star prospect out of Spring Valley High School in Kenova, W.Va. as part of their 2022 class.
