West Virginia defensive lineman Darius Stills staying for senior year

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia defensive lineman Darius Stills is sticking around for his senior year.

Stills, an all-Big 12 player who finished second in the league with seven sacks, announced late Friday afternoon that he will forgo this year’s NFL Draft. Stills had previously submitted his name to the NFL’s College Advisory Committee, which provides feedback to prospective underclassmen who are thinking of entering the draft pool.

“These past 3 years having the opportunity to live out my childhood dreams of playing football and being able to showcase my talents for West Virginia University holds a special place in my heart & I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” Stills wrote on social media.
