WyattMilum

Even though he was a freshman All-American and an all-league performer as a sophomore, Wyatt Milum said he didn't feel fully comfortable playing college football until late in his junior season. And he has teammate Tomas Rimac to thank for getting him over the hump. "Before a game I would ask Tomas, 'Do you get nervous before games?'" Milum said ahead of the 2024 season. "He would say, 'No, because I think of them as just another practice.' Well, I started to think of it like that. That helped me stay calm and play better out there." Entering the 2024 season, Milum started 32 of 36 career games, including 31 straight, and has allowed zero sacks and just nine pressures in 337 snaps last season, according to Pro Football Focus. He graded out at 92% or better in 11 out of 12 regular season games last season and helped pave the way for a Mountaineer ground attack to average nearly 230 yards per game, ranking third among power conference programs.
