A pair of West Virginia football seniors have joined Garrett Greene and Anthony Wilson Jr. amongst Mountaineers declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft, as offensive lineman Ja’Quay Hubbard and defensive lineman T.J. Jackson Jr. announced their intent to enter their names into the draft pool on Friday.
Hubbard was a sixth-year senior who began his career at Virginia but has spent his final five collegiate seasons with WVU. Hubbard was a three-year starter, shifting between guard and tackle, and made 42 appearances for WVU. He helped anchor an offensive line that paved the way for a rushing attack that averaged 210 yards per game over the two-year period from 2023-2024.
Jackson joined WVU for his senior season after spending his first three seasons at Troy -- he was a critical piece of the Mountaineers defensive line, recording 40 tackles and 6.5 sacks. Over the course of his career with both programs, he tallied 134 tackles, 18 sacks, 4 pass deflections, and 4 forced fumbles.
