West Virginia football senior offensive lineman Wyatt Milum is solidifying himself as a top NFL Draft prospect in the offseason, and recently earned some extremely high praise from one of the top analytics companies in football.

The renownedPro Football Focus (PFF), whose analytics services are employed by the majority of NFL and NCAA Division 1 organizations, has dropped their list of Top 101 College Football Players from the 2024 season and Milum found himself on the list.
