Wilnerson Telemaque, Prototypical Pass Rusher | WVU Football All 105

All 105 is a West Virginia Sports Now series profiling each member of the 2025 WVU Football Roster.

Wilnerson Telemaque committed to WVU Football on National Signing Day in 2024 despite the Mountaineers being in the middle of a regime change.

A 6-foot-6, 255 pound defensive end, Telemaque was a three-star recruit in high school and has a natural frame for the position, possessing the length and speed to beat opposing tackles on his way to the quarterback. As he continues to build strength and hone his technique, Telemaque could turn into a legitimate nightmare of an edge rusher.

True freshmen generally struggle to see major playing time, but don’t rule Telemaque out entirely in a wide open position battle.

47 • Wilnerson Telemaque, freshman defensive line

Last year: N/A

Stats: N/A

Camp outlook: For the most part, the Mountaineers’ defensive line room is a mixture of young athletes without much college playing time and veterans who began their careers at the lower levels of the sport. Telemaque might have trouble establishing himself right out of the gate, but the position battle is as wide open as any on the Mountaineers’ roster.

Projected role: If Telemaque appears on the field in 2024, expect him to do so in a rotational role or via special teams.

Accolades, highlights: Telemaque earned a three-star rating as a recruit playing for former NFL first round Teddy Bridgewater at Miami Northwestern.
