Wesco, a native of Martinsburg, who spent time at Lackawanna CC before joining his home state’s side, has caught one pass in each of the last two seasons. How much or little they are used in either role is yet to be seen. On the West Virginia roster, all five players at this position are listed as “TE/FB”. Trevon Wesco is listed as the the starting tight end. Hope is that there is talent and speed that hasn’t yet had the chance to show itself on the field and that Simmons blends with Jennings and Sills and creates too many threats for defenses to account for. The only stat he recorded during his freshman season at Alabama was a lone tackle. TJ is a former three star recruit who has two years left to play at WVU. TJ Simmons is listed as the starting WR-Z according to the depth chart released prior to the Big 12 media days.

We can only hope that Jennings TD numbers were something of a fluke and he too can possibly set his sights on a record breaking season. For comparison, he caught two touchdowns during the 2016 season, in which he only caught 10 passes. Jennings caught 97 passes, amassed nearly 1,100 yards and only saw the end zone once, in the opener against Virginia Tech. Gary Jennings was the workhorse who kept the sticks moving and piled up receptions, broke 1,000 yards, and didn’t score after week one.

While it is almost impossible to think that Sills wouldn’t have been more productive had Will Grier’s hand not been blown to pieces, it is still worth noting that if he can become more consistent down to down and between the 20’s he could be ripe for a record setting season in both yards and TDs. It’s almost unbelievable that a WR scored 18 times in a season in which he failed to score in the final three games and only broke the 100 yard threshold 4 times.

While Sills was productive in the red zone and, even more importantly, the end zone, he still registered only 980 yards on 60 receptions. It is easy to forget that Jennings had a 1,000 yard season last year, mostly because it is very difficult to forget that Sills caught 18 touchdown passes. Those first two names need no introduction.
