The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

This receiver’s fez is familiar

That’s either WVU’s resilient inside outside receiver J.D. Woods or Dr. Evil’s imperturbable henchman Mustafa. I’m truly not sure. Mustafa just wouldn’t die and Woods just won’t give up for the Mountaineers.

Woods hasn’t played a lot, getting into 26 games in three seasons, and he has averaged one reception per game, including none as a redshirt freshman in 2009. What he lacks in playing time and statistics he more than makes up for in self-esteem.

He is where he is not because of gaudy numbers or an irresistible reputation, but rather because he acts like he belongs.

“Nothing can break a confident man,” he said. “Confidence is something I pride myself on.”
