FRISCO, Texas — West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen didn’t flinch when asked if Dravon Askew-Henry would be able to handle playing the “spur” safety position for the first time as a senior.

“Experience,” Holgorsen said Tuesday at Big 12 media days. “Dravon has over 2,000 snaps under his belt and the kid has been in this defense for five years now. He understand the defense in general and if you understand the defense, you can play any of those three safety spots.”

And Askew-Henry has done that since joining the Mountaineers as a true freshman in 2014.
