As we're roughly at the midway point of the 2024 college football season, it's becoming a little bit clearer who the cream of the crop are -- both in terms of teams as a whole as well as individual players.

This week, CBS Sports released their Midseason All-American team -- a list composed by the media outlet's "panel of experts" which ended up accounting for players from 23 different teams across 8 different conferences. Three of the 27 total players to make the team come from the Big 12, and one dons the old-gold-and-blue for West Virginia.

Left tackle Wyatt Milum made the list as one of the five offensive lineman named -- he joins a trio of SEC offensive lineman and one Big 10 player who compose the rest of the offensive line.

Recently, Pro Football Focus (PFF) analyst Max Chadwick highlighted on Twitter/X just how dominant Milum has been this season. According to Chadwick, Milum hasn’t allowed a quarterback pressure, much less a sack, through 177 pass-blocking snaps. The next offensive lineman to achieve that feat has only managed 111 snaps on the season, which is 66 less than the WVU starting tackle. Milum also is second nationally in terms of PFF's run blocking grade with an 87.5 score overall.
