COMMENTARY

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — When Will Grier was popped for taking a banned over-the-counter substance in 2015, Florida owned a 6-0 record and a top-10 ranking.

When Grier lunged toward a pylon last month and came up with his middle finger gruesomely fractured, West Virginia was still in the mix for the Big 12 title.

Those disappointments factored heavily into the quarterback revealing Thursday that he isn’t done with college football. He put off the NFL draft in order to return in 2018.

“He very much wants to win a championship,” said Will’s father, Chad Grier.
