MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — For the year they had him, West Virginia coaches adored David Sills’ athleticism, football IQ and willing dexterity.

“David is one of the best kids I’ve ever coached, he really is,” Lindheim told me after Sills re-signed with the Mountaineers. “I can’t say enough good things about David the person. And I know he’s a hungry competitive football player, but long after football, David’s going to be a great contributor to our society and be very successful in life.
