Just a quick update here as we get ready for WVU’s basketball game at Oklahoma.

After Yodny Cajuste’s strong start to this weekend’s NFL Combine in Indianapolis, more WVU players have had the chance to show what they can do to the pro teams.

Friday saw quarterbacks, receivers and tight ends get started with the bench press and the Mountaineers in attendance did not disappoint — Trevon Wesco, a Martinsburg native and former multi-sport standout at Musselman High, did 24 reps of 225 pounds on to lead all tight ends in the event.

Receivers Gary Jennings (20) and David Sills (14) also did the bench press on Friday while quarterback Will Grier skipped it.

Grier did, however, run the 40-yard dash on Saturday mornimg. The Charlotte, North Carolina native ran a 4.92 and 4.84 — placing him among the top 10 for quarterbacks in the category at the Combine.

As of right now, Wesco is the only one of the group do participate in other drills — he ran a 4.89 in the 40, posted a 31-inch vertical leap and went 117.0 inches in the broad jump.

Check back here this evening and I’ll get y’all some updated information from what the former West Virginia players are doing at the NFL Combine.
