MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Kelby Wickline is playing one of the most unique roles in college football this season. It’s not right tackle — there’s hundreds of them to go round.
Son of a position coach who wasn’t retained after a coaching turnover? There can’t be too many of those.
Wickline transferred to West Virginia from junior college in 2017 to play for his father, Joe, who was the Mountaineers’ offensive line coach. He was placed in a potentially awkward spot this offseason.
Dana Holgorsen left for Houston, but didn’t take Joe with him. West Virginia hired Neal Brown, who imported Troy offensive line coach Matt Moore to Morgantown.
