Top 10 Quarterbacks in WVU History
7. Chad Johnston (1993-96)
One quarterback that flew under the radar and many people may tend to forget about is Chad Johnston. In 1993, he sat behind Jake Kelchner and Darren Studstill as he was still developing his game. Following those guys’ departure, he would be the next in line to start for the Mountaineers.
Johnston is 5th all-time at WVU in passing yards (5,954 yards) and 6th in touchdowns with 43. He was what I call a, “system quarterback.” A guy that was not asked to do much, but when he did, he showed out. The offense was designed to help relieve pressure off him, but putting Johnston in a Dana Holgorsen ran offense would be something to see.
