The West Virginia Mountaineers have gone from a full on air attack to a more balanced offensive system and much of that has to do with center Tyler Orlosky. The three year starter for Dana Holgorsen has anchored a line that saw Wendell Smallwood become the leading rusher in the Big 12 in 2015 while averaging over 230 yards per game. In 2016, that number dropped to 225 yards per game.
Coming out of Lakewood, Ohio, Orlosky held offers from both Michigan and Michigan State but chose the Mountaineers. Tyler was ranked the number 3 player in the state of Ohio in 2011.
