Stills grew up about 30 minutes south of Morgantown in Fairmont, so like most people around him, he was raised as a WVU football fan. It certainly helped that his father, Gary, was a Mountaineer, himself. He played for the WVU football team in the late 1990s and has his family set up in the region.
Darius Stills had been growing into a Division I level caliber over the past two seasons with the Fairmont Senior Polar Bears. He has the big body type to thrive at the highest level of college football and he will get stronger as gets more ingrained with the Mountaineers weight lifting program.
