Retaining Milum, Rimac and Yates was essential after they proved to be parts of WVU’s strong offensive line in 2023. With Zach Frazier pursuing the NFL and Doug Nester possibly joining him, Milum will be an even more important piece in 2024.

As for Trotter, he missed his entire freshman season with a serious injury suffered during camp. At the time of his injury, head coach Neal Brown said he was fully expecting Trotter to be a contributor in 2023 before the injury. If Trotter decided to leave, WVU football fans would have never been able to see him actually put his talents on display.

Fox became the lead return man and developed a solid chemistry with quarterback Garrett Greene.

These players decided to promote WVU’s NIL collective Country Roads Trust while announcing their intentions to return on social media.
