The Smoking Musket is the SB Nation site for the West Virginia Mountaneers. In August last year, ahead of Wellman’s 2017 senior season, they published an article titled, “Against all odds, Elijah Wellman has made Dana Holgorsen love the Fullback”.
Who knows? Maybe Wellman can overcome the odds again and work his magic on Jay Gruden.
The subtitle to the Smoking Musket article was, “Wellman is every fullback cliche personified, and that’s not a bad thing at all”. Let’s have a look at what that article had to say about the Redskins fullback:
Year: Senior
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 241
Hometown: Huntington, WV
High School: Spring Valley High School
How he got to Morgantown
Wellman was a three time AAA All-State player at Spring Valley High School in Huntington.
