Six Mountaineers have earned recognition from Athlon Sports as part of its 2020 all-Big 12 preseason team, but that put WVU tied for last in the total number of selections in the ten-team league.
Senior defensive lineman Darius Stills was a first-team selection. He was the only WVU player to earn first-team notice from Athlon this year.
Sophomore wide receiver Sam James and junior defensive lineman Dante Stills were second-team picks, while senior offensive lineman James Gmiter, junior linebacker Josh Chandler and sophomore safety Tykee Smith were fourth-team choices.
With a half dozen picks to Athlon’s four 2020 preseason teams, West Virginia tied Kansas for the fewest selections. Oklahoma had the most with 18, followed by Iowa State (17), Texas (16), Oklahoma State (14), Texas Tech (10), TCU (9), Baylor (8) and Kansas State (7).
