The West Virginia Mountaineers will have a new face leading the kickoffs in 2022 as they received word that kickoff specialist Parker Grothaus is transferring from Florida State. Grothaus looks to help solve the kicking woes that plagued the Mountaineers last year as they finished 121st in the country (out of 130) in touchbacks [12], 128th in kickoff average and 123rd worst in out-of-bounds.
Parker Grothaus has hit touchbacks on 52-percent of his kickoffs during his three-year career at Florida State. #WVU kickers had touchbacks on 17-percent last season and 9 of the 12 are now gone from the roster.
