The Pittsburgh Steelers released their final 53-man roster for the 2024-2025 NFL season on Tuesday, and a pair of familiar faces for West Virginia football fans made the cut.

Center Zach Frazier and cornerback Beanie Bishop Jr. were among the names listed on the final roster for the Steelers headed into the regular season.



Frazier, a native of Fairmont, W.Va, was a four-year starter at WVU on the offensive line, and quickly found himself occupying a starting role during the NFL preseason. A second round pick in the NFL Draft, Frazier seems ready to slide seamlessly into the role of a starting NFL lineman.

Bishop, meanwhile, went undrafted and signed as a free agent in the offseason with the Steelers. He had a meteoric rise during offseason workouts and preseason camp to find himself fighting for a role in the secondary, and now has done enough to earn his spot on the final roster.
