Cornerback Beanie Bishop has been named the 13th Consensus All-American in West Virginia Mountaineers history after receiving the nomination from AFCA. Bishop joins former defensive lineman Darius Stills as the second Consensus All-American under Neal Brown.
After spending four outstanding seasons at Western Kentucky, one as a member of the All-Conference USA squad, Bishop began shopping his services following the 2021 campaign in hopes of displaying his talents on a bigger stage. Bishop ended up at Minnesota, where he had a limited role in 13 games for the Golden Gophers in 2022. There, he finished with 29 tackles, one sack and one pass breakup – not the type of production he was seeking after a dominant year at Western Kentucky in 2021.
