MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Quarterback Austin Kendall is not the only newcomer with the potential to become a difference-maker for West Virginia this fall.
Defensive end Taijh Alston, who also enrolled at WVU this semester, is seeing plenty of practicing with the No. 1 defense.
“He has to be a guy that shows up for us,” said defensive line coach Jordan Lesley. “He has to be.”
Alston redshirted as a freshman at East Carolina before transferring to Copiah-Lincoln (Miss.) Junior College for a year. The good news is that gives him three years to blossom as a Mountaineer.
