WVU’s Wyatt Milum Continues to Impress Evaluators with Top OL Grade

Stop if you’ve heard this before. WVU’s Wyatt Milum earned the highest grade among offensive lineman. Just a few days after being graded as the second best offensive lineman so far during the 2024 season, PFF awarded Milum the top spot for his play in Week 6.

PFF graded Milum a 90.8 for his work in a tough road environment against Oklahoma State. Milum entered the OSU game with an overall season grade of 88.7, which placed him in the No. 2 spot behind Rutgers’ Hollin Pierce.

Of course, Milum is no stranger to receiving recognition and entered the season on numerous watch lists.

With Zach Frazier and Doug Nester embarking on their professional careers, Milum is now the next Mountaineer in line to advance from WVU to the NFL.

Despite the recognition and being WVU’s highest rated player in College Football 25, is it possible Milum is actually underrated? Apparently David Kenyon of Bleacher Reportthinks so, placing Milum on his list of the six underrated players poised to outshine their ratings in the popular video game.

“It’s safe to say Wyatt Milum is a priority NFL prospect right now. Last season, per Pro Football Focus, the West Virginia left tackle yielded nine pressures and zero sacks in 337 pass-blocking snaps. Checking in at 6’6″ and 317 pounds, Milum has a prototypical build for an NFL tackle. He’ll also offer plenty of experience, considering he enters the 2024 campaign with 32 career starts at WVU,” wrote Kenyon.

WVU recruited Milum as a consensus four-star prospect out of Spring Valley High School in Kenova, W.Va. as part of their 2022 class.
