MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Dylan Tonkery is finally moving again.
That alone is a big step forward for the West Virginia middle linebacker, who had last season derailed by a groin injury he initially suffered against Texas Tech. He tried to go the following week against Kansas, but the day after the game, Tonkery woke up in searing pain.
“Dang, this really hurt me,” Tonkery recalled thinking. “I couldn’t walk when I woke up.”
Due to the nature of the injury, there was always hope that he’d be able to get back onto the field.
