Nick Krahe, Ready to Lead New-Look Offensive Line | WVU Football All 105

All 105 is a West Virginia Sports Now series profiling each member of the 2026 WVU Football Roster. 

As the most veteran member of the offensive line, Nick Krahe, now a redshirt junior, has become an impotent leader for a revamped unit. And after transitioning to tackle last season, Krahe will now embark on another transition – playing for legendary coach Rick Trickett.

Krahe committed to the Mountaineers ahead of the 2023 season as a consensus three-star recruit. He starred on both sides of the ball in high school, playing at both offensive guard and tackle, but at 6-foot-6 and 316 pounds would likely serve the Mountaineers best using his wingspan to fight off edge rushers. Tied as one of the four tallest players on the roster, that height and length could make Krahe a natural at tackle.

During his first two seasons with WVU Football, Krahe made it onto the field as a member of the special teams unit, indicating a higher level of athleticism than one might expect from the average lineman. He then started all 12 games in 2025 at tackle. Unlike entering the 2025 season, Krahe is locked into a starting role barring anything unforeseen happening.
