Nick Kwiatkoski

There will be no defensive player from this year’s team missed more than Nick Kwiatkoski.

He led the Mountaineers in tackles three straight years and was a reliable leader on the defensive side.

He finished his senior campaign with three interceptions, 10 tackles for a loss and 205 solo tackles. He wraps up his WVU career with 303 total tackles.

Along with Dillon, Kwiatkoski also earned an invitation to the Senior Bowl, where he performed admirably and gained attention in the practices leading up to the game.

According to Lance Zierlein, ” Kwiatkoski is known for his weight room work and has transitioned his body type from safety to inside linebacker. He has some physical limitations that could prevent him from becoming a full-­time starter, but his mean streak and ability to finish as a tackler could serve him well as a special teamer which is likely how he will have to make a team.”
