No. 25 Joe Stydahar

Joe Stydahar played both basketball and football for West Virginia in the early 1930s. He was a fast offensive player, who once scored 24 points in a game. At the time, that was the most in school history.

His seven blocked punts in the 1934 season still stand as the record today.

Stydahar played 10 seasons in the NFL with the Chicago Bears and also coached professionally.
