Justin Arndt, the pride of Martinsburg in the Eastern Panhandle, is slated to get the starting nod at sam linebacker on Saturday afternoon when the Missouri Tigers come to Morgantown. Arndt, once a standout player at Martinsburg High for Coach David Walker, has spent the last four years playing mostly special teams for the Mountaineers.
Of the 35 games he’s appeared in during his WVU career, the vast majority of the snaps he’s defended have either been with the football traveling high in the air while covering kickoffs or when the games have already been decided in a mop-up role.
