WVU Coach Spent Time in Ohio with Athletic 2026 OL

WVU offensive line coach Jack Bicknell took a tip to Ohio to spend time with a 2026 athletic lineman. Bicknell was in Westerville to visit D’Nilyeon Taylor on Monday.

Taylor then posted about his experience with Bicknell on social media, sharing an image of them in front of his house.

I really appreciate @CoachBicknell for stopping by for a home visit! #GoMountaineers pic.twitter.com/sDQ5UJWFzf

The 6-foot-5, 295-pound Taylor is on West Virginia’s radar due to his size and athleticism. Taylor has played on both the right and left side as both a tackle and a guard, granted most recruiting services view him as a tackle at the college level. He’s also a three-sport athlete at Westerville North High School.

Taylor is rated as a three-star prospect by 247 Sports and holds offers from Akron, Bowling Green, Buffalo, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Marshall, Miami (OH), Ohio, Toledo, UMass, USF and Western Michigan among others.
