The beard

One look at Trevor Kiess and the first thing to notice is the thick, long dark beard. He has that natural Mountaineer look that will look well on tours throughout the state of West Virginia.

Kiess will also have many opportunities to be on national television. He will be able to provide enthusiastic cheers with an infectious smile while the cameras focus on him roaming the sidelines.

Already wearing the buckskins, he has a great feel about him. He looks the part and that’s the biggest thing. People still remember Mountaineers like Brady Campbell and Jonathan Kimble because of their outstanding demeanor.
