West Virginia Native Andreas Hunter Hopes for Chance to Play | WVU Football All 105

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

Andreas Hunter committed to WVU Football as a preferred walk-on (PWO) ahead of the 2024 season, giving the Glen Dale, W. Va. native a chance to represent his home state on the Division I stage.

A First Team All-State honoree at John Marshall High School outside Wheeling, Hunter didn’t allow a sack during his senior season. The 6-foot-4, 306-pound tackle picked up more than 20 pancake blocks in his high school career and also participated on the wrestling team, giving him extra practice in fundamentals of his position like grappling and weight transfer.

The Mountaineers brought in veteran transfers on the offensive line this offseason in order to fill holes in their roster. Hunter’s best path to the field, then, comes on special teams… although it can take quite a bit of time for walk-ons to develop.
