“At West Virginia, we don’t get treated as a walk-on. The culture here, everybody is one. But being a Morgantown guy, and a walk-on, it’s a privilege to earn the Nickolich Award. I’m blessed to get it, and it was a very good feeling when I heard my name called.”

“Being a walk-on gave me the opportunity I needed. I knew I had to put in a lot of har d work and effort in every day to earn the r espect of my teammates. There are guys from all over the country coming in who were great, were stars at their high school. I just looked for any way and did anything I could to work hard, compete and earn my way.”

“When I first walked on, I was just trying to get to the next level. For me, that next level was getting a scholarship and playing hard. After I got there, the next level was to become a consistent starter and a good leader. Once I did that, it was keep improving and maybe have the possibility of playing in the NFL. It was a long shot. I was hoping and praying for it, and I just kept working hard. Now that it’s here, I still can’t believe it.”
“I know every little boy, in West Virginia, has the same dream, to put on the Old Gold and Blue and have a Flying WV on your chest. It means something different than just that you can play football. I love the game, but I definitely love this state more than I love the game of football. That is what pushed me.” –Jake Abbott

West Virginia had a program-best 24 student-athletes named to the Academic All-Big 12 Teams, safety Sean Mahone was a finalist for the William Campbell Trophy, the academic Heisman, and he earned a spot on the National Football Foundation’s Scholar-Athlete Team. Kicker Casey Legg was named a semifinalist for the Lou Groza National Kicking Award and WVU had nine players named to one of three postseason Big 12 all-conference teams by media organizations.CenterZach
The 2021 squad finished with six wins and had its share of positives, including earning a bowl bid to the Guaranteed Rate Bowl, its second in a row under Brown. WVU has earned a spot in a bowl game in 18 of the last 20 years and is one of only 15 programs in the nation to accomplish that feat. Running back Leddie Brown rushed for 1,000 yards for the second year in a row, and WVU was fourth in the Big 12 in average passing yards per game (247.9). The Mountaineer defense finished No. 5 nationally in red-zone defense, No. 18 in the fewest first downs allowed and No. 29 in third-down defense.

Frazier was named to the Walter Camp Football Foundation and American Football Coaches Association’s All-America teams, and tackle Wyatt Milum was named to three freshman All-America teams. Defensive lineman Dante Stills was named an All-Big 12 First Team honoree, and Frazier earned a spot on the second team.
Another component of the 5th Quarter Program is the Bridge program. Its goal is to introduce the studentathletes to the college experience when they first enter WVU and give them their final training before they embark into life after graduation.
The Mountaineers defeated No. 15 Virginia Tech, marking the highest-ranked win of the Brown era and also defeated No. 22 Iowa State to tie for the most wins against ranked teams in a season since 2007.
Neal Brown is in his fourth year as the head coach at West Virginia.
In his first three full classes, the average signee star rating has been among the best in the program’s history, highlighted by the signing of 12 four-star recruits during that time. The program has landed multiple targets after beating out many high-level schools, and it has landed the top in-state recruits each year in coveted prospects, Zach Frazier, Wyatt Milum and Corbin Page. The 2021 class had the highest average star rankings (3.25) according to Rivals since the start of the company, and the 2023 class is currently ranked No. 13 nationally, which would be the best in the Internet era. With the landscape of college football changing more than ever, Brown has had to evaluate and give even more attention to his role as the CEO, overseeing the big picture, managing all areas of the program and making sure all areas concerning the players and staff are accomplished. This past offseason, Brown showed his investment in his staff by bringing in offensive coordinator Graham Harrell to be more hands-on with the offense and further its development.Browncontinues to support and champion program leadership by the players, emphasizing a dedication to the individual student-athlete. His mission is in the development of each player as a complete person, not only on the field, but off, and for each to continuously build themselves and their brand to make a difference in the world after their football career is finished.
Since arriving in Morgantown in January 2019, Brown has covered a lot of territory representing Mountaineer Football as its chief ambassador, ensuring the great story about his program is told to everyone.

It’s a proven fact that you win with people, and no one knows that better than Brown. He has a commitment to investing time and resources in his staff and players, mentoring and preparing them to carry out the mission of Mountaineer Football, not only on the field but off of it as well. One of the key areas in which his commitment is paying huge dividends is recruiting. Brown has taken a young and depleted roster, established a strong foundation and has it heading in an upward direction toward the future.
One of the first player initiatives that Brown implemented for the team was the 5th Quarter Program to assist in the development of the total player, not only on the field, but for life beyond graduation. The pillars of the program are character development, leadership development, real life, social responsibility and career development. With the name, image and likeness legislation enacted in July 2021, Brown did his due diligence in advance to ensure that his players were prepared, no matter how involved the process becomes in the future.
The 2020 season was Brown’s most challenging season to date, testing his ability, not only as a coach, but as a leader. He was forced to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic since mid-March, which didn’t allow for spring practice or offseason workouts and skill instruction, while social unrest was at a high level nationally during the summer. Even though the program constantly was forced to deal with the effects and protocols of COVID-19 during the season, the Mountaineers stayed the course, finishing the season 6-4 overall and 4-4 in the Big 12. Brown made his first bowl appearance as the coach of West Virginia against Army in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, winning the game, 24-21.
Troy finished 10-3 in 2016, including a 6-2 mark in the Sun Belt and a victory over Ohio University in the Dollar General Bowl. The Trojans became the first Sun Belt Conference school to ever open a season with eight wins in its first nine games, and they became the first league school to appear in a major top 25 poll, checking in at No. 25 in the Associated Press’ Nov. 13 poll. Additionally, Brown’s 2016 squad tied for the best turnaround in the country (six wins). Prior to Brown’s first season at Troy in 2015, he spent two years (2013-14) as the offensive coordinator under Mark Stoops at Kentucky. Under his direction, he led the Wildcats to some new heights on the offensive side of the football. The Wildcats posted more than 440 yards of total offense in three Southeastern Conference games in 2014, its highest total since 2001.
The Mountaineers finished the 2019 season with a 5-7 mark, in what was called a transitional year. WVU finished the regular season winning two of the final three games, at Kansas State and at TCU, and had a 3-3 mark on the road, including a 3-2 road record in the Big 12 Conference. Five of Brown’s players were named to All-Big 12 postseason teams, and Colton McKivitz was named the Big 12’s Co-Offensive Lineman of the Year. McKivitz earned spots on two All-America teams - Walter Camp Football Foundation’s Second Team and the Associated Press’ Third Team, and Tykee Smith was named a freshman All-American by the Football Writers Association of America. McKivitz played in the Reese’s Senior Bowl and was selected in the fifth round of the NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers.
The 2017 campaign featured an 11-win season for Troy, including a win over North Texas in the New Orleans Bowl. The Trojans once again finished with a 7-1 conference mark, earning Brown his first conference championship. Troy finished the season with the 27th most votes in the final Amway Coaches Poll, marking the highest final ranking by a Sun Belt Conference squad in league history.
Brown, one of six FBS coaches to win 10 or more games in 2016, 2017 and 2018, was named WVU’s 35th head football coach on Jan. 5, 2019. He spent the previous four years as the head coach at Troy University (2015-18), compiling a 35-16 record, including 3-0 in bowl games. In his final three seasons, the Trojans posted a 31-8 record (.795), tying for the highest winning percentage nationally among non-Power 5 schools.
Troy faced seven bowl teams and posted a 6-1 mark in those games. Additionally, the Trojans played three conference or conference division champions – Boise State (Mountain West), Akron (MAC/East) and North Texas (C-USA West).
Five players earned All-America honors, led by Darius Stills, who was the school’s first Consensus All-American since 2006 and 12th in school history. Tony Fields II, Tykee Smith and Dante Stills were named to at least one All-America team, and freshmen Zach Frazier and Akheem Mesidor were named to Freshman All-America teams. In April, Fields was drafted by the Cleveland Browns to extend WVU’s string of consecutive years of having at least one player selected in the NFL Draft since 2008, while five players signed free-agent contracts. Eight players were named to the All-Big 12 Conference postseason teams, led by first-team honorees Fields II, also defensive newcomer of the year, Darius Stills, also defensive lineman of the year, and Leddie Brown, a first-team running back.

Before Brown left after the 2018 season, Troy had won 17 of its last 20 games and 22 of its last 26 games. After directing the Trojans to the 2017 Sun Belt Conference Championship, Brown was honored as the league’s coach of the year. During his highly successful tenure at Troy, Brown’s signature wins included a 24-21 victory in 2017 at then-No. 22 LSU in Baton Rouge, which snapped the Tigers’ 49-game non-conference home winning streak, and a 24-19 win at Nebraska on Sept. 15, 2018. Also impressive was his team’s narrow 30-24 loss at eventual 2016 national champion Clemson. In 2018, Troy finished 10-3, including a victory over Buffalo in the Dollar General Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. The Trojans finished 7-1 in conference play and won five of their last six games.
The Wildcats totaled 380 yards or more of total offense in their first three SEC games in 2014 – Florida, Arkansas and South Carolina – marking the first time a UK team had done so since 1998. Kentucky scored 21 offensive touchdowns in SEC play in 2014.
Born in Louisville, Kentucky, Brown grew up in Bardstown, Kentucky, before moving to Danville, Kentucky, where he was an all-state wide receiver at Boyle County High School, finishing his career as the No. 2 receiver in state history. Brown and his wife, Brooke, have two daughters, Adalyn and Anslee, and a son, Dax.
TTU finished the 2012 season second nationally in passing with 355.9 yards per game, 13th in total offense at 495.4 yards per game and 20th in scoring with 37.5 points per game.
While at UMass, he was an Atlantic 10 AllAcademic honoree and an NCAA Division I-AA Athletic Directors’ Academic All-Star team selection. Brown graduated from UMass with a bachelor’s degree in business management in 2002 and earned his master’s degree in business administration in 2005.

The two years prior to Brown being named offensive coordinator, Kentucky had a combined 21 offensive touchdowns in SEC play. He also spent three years at Texas Tech (2010-12) as the offensive coordinator after his first stint at Troy as an assistant coach from 2006-09. As Texas Tech’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, the Red Raiders ranked in the nation’s top-seven teams in passing offense, top 15 in total offense and top 25 in scoring offense, having increased production in all three categories each year since 2010.
The 2012 campaign was an expansion of the success from 2011, when Texas Tech ranked 13th nationally in total offense at 470.6 yards per game. The Red Raiders lit the scoreboard at a tune of 33.8 points per contest. In his first season in Lubbock, Brown’s offense notched 460.2 yards of total offense per game, including 318.9 passing, and scored at a 33.1-point clip as Tech went 8-5 and won the TicketCity Bowl.At Troy, Brown was the inside receivers coach the first two years (2006-07) with the Trojans before transitioning to offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2008-09. Troy won four Sun Belt Conference titles and appeared in three bowl games during Brown’s initial tenure. He began his coaching career with one-year stints at UMass (2003), Sacred Heart (2004) and Delaware (2005).AtDelaware, Brown served as wide receivers coach, starting three freshman wideouts as the Blue Hens went 6-5. In 2004, Brown coached the quarterbacks and wide receivers at Sacred Heart, boasting the top-ranked scoring offense in the conference. In 2003, he was the tight ends coach and offensive line assistant at Massachusetts, helping the Minutemen win a share of the Atlantic-10 championship and a berth in the FCS playoffs.

GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS 136 2021 STATISTICS 149 2021 SEASONREVIEW
West Virginia not only erased Maryland’s 10-point lead, but carried a 21-20 advantage into the locker room at halftime after the Terps added a late 21-yard Petrino field goal. A scoreless third quarter with missed West Virginia opportunities to pad its lead was the break Maryland needed to regain the lead and put the game away in the fourth. Petrino’s third field goal gave the Terps a 2321 lead with 9:16 left, and Jakorian Bennett’s interception of Doege in the end zone not only stopped WVU’s go-ahead scoring threat but provided momentum for the Terp offense. After the interception, Tagovailoa went to the air and hit Rakim Jarrett for a 60-yard touchdown and a 30-21 Terrapin lead. A 23-yard field goal by WVU’s Casey Legg made it a one-possession game again with 2:53 left, but the Terps never gave the ball back, running out the final minutes thanks to a 53-yard run by Tayon Fleet-Davis, who finished the game with 123 yards rushing. Maryland won the statistical battle by finishing with 496 total yards (164 rushing/332 passing) compared to West Virginia’s 325 (48 rushing/286 passing). Coming into the game, West Virginia had won nine of the last 10 against Maryland, including two in a row. The Terrapin victory over the Mountaineers was their first in the series since 2013. West Virginia now leads the overall series with Maryland 28-23-2.

West Virginia secured its first victory of the 2021 season with a convincing, 66-0 win over FCS opponent Long Island.

By keeping the Hokies off the board in the second, WVU held a 24-7 lead at theTobreak.start the third quarter, West Virginia reeled off a 12-play drive that consumed 6:38 off the clock and ended with a 44-yard field goal from Legg, which upped the WVU margin to 27-7.Virginia Tech answered with just one second left in the third quarter as Raheem Blackshear rushed in from 20 yards out, cutting the Hokie deficit to 27-14 and setting the stage for the fourth-quarter fireworks. With West Virginia’s offense unable to move the ball, the Mountaineer defense kept turning Virginia Tech away, even after a WVU fumble in Mountaineer territory. Tech broke through with 3:10 left in the game on a 29-yard pass from Burmeister to Jalen Holston, which closed the gap to 27-21. Trying to run out the final three minutes in the game, the WVU offense made a crucial mistake by throwing an interception, which was returned to the 17-yard line. Suddenly faced with possibly losing the game after controlling the lead for the previous 58 minutes, the Mountaineer defense came up with a game-saving stand. Tech got to first-and-goal from the 3, but two running plays for 1 yard and two incomplete passes properly covered by the Mountaineer secondary gave WVU the win in dramatic fashion. The series record now stands at 29-23-1 in favor of West Virginia. With the victory, the Black Diamond Trophy returned to Morgantown for the first time since 2003 and college football was reminded how great rivalry games truly are.

It appeared as if West Virginia was going to retake the lead after driving from its own 25 to the OU 28-yard line. However, the next two plays killed the drive and ended any chance of a Mountaineer upset. From the OU 28, an illegal snap penalty backed the Mountaineers up 5 yards before a bad snap past quarterback Jarret Doege resulted in a 21-yard loss and ended the drive. Oklahoma took over at its own 8-yard line with 3:39 remaining and proceeded to run out the clock with a 14-play, 80-yard drive that ended with a 30-yard, game-winning field goal from Brkic. The Sooners only reached third down once in the drive, as they used positive yardage plays on first and second down to get into field goal range. Final numbers showed West Virginia with 47 yards rushing and 179 passing for 226 yards of total offense. Oklahoma finished with 57 yards on the ground and 256 through the air for 313 yards of offense. West Virginia controlled the ball for six minutes more than the Sooners, but Oklahoma converted just enough big plays down the stretch, combined with WVU miscues, to secure the victory.

A crowd of 84,353 watched the defensive battle as big offensive plays were mixed in with stingy defensive play in the Big 12 Conference opener for both teams.

WVU PRESIDENT E. GORDON GEE 204 WVU DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS SHANE LYONS 205 WVU ATHLETICS ADMINISTRATION ...........................206 WVU HEAD COACHES 206 WVU ATHLETICS EXCELLENCE 207 MEDIA INFORMATION ..............................................208 informationGENERAL
Dr. E. Gordon Gee is one of America’s most prominent higher education leaders, having helmed universities for more than three decades. In 2009, Time magazine named him one of the top 10 university presidents in the United States. Recently, the website Great Value Colleges named him the nation’s top university president. In 2014, Gee returned to West Virginia University, where his career as a university president began. His leadership goals include putting students first, advancing the university’s research agenda, partnering with West Virginia communities and making sure that 1.8 million West Virginians know in their hearts and minds that West Virginia University is their university.
Born in Vernal, Utah, Gee graduated from the University of Utah with an honors degree in history and earned his J.D. and Ed.D. degrees from Columbia University. He clerked under Chief Justice David T. Lewis of the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals before being named a judicial fellow and staff assistant to the U.S. Supreme Court. In this role, he worked for Chief Justice Warren Burger on administrative and legal problems of the Court and federal judiciary. Gee returned to Utah as an associate professor and associate dean in the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University and was granted full professorship in 1978. One year later, he became dean of the West Virginia University College of Law, and, in 1980, was named West Virginia University president. He served in that role until 1985.

WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT E. GORDON GEE, J.D., ED.D
When he stresses academics, he means it as a department-high 361 student-athletes made the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll and WVU’s overall department GPA was 3.22 last year. WVU featured 493 athletes with a 3.00 GPA and 168 with a 4.0 for the 2022 spring semester.
DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS/ASSOCIATE VP SHANE LYONS
Long considered one of the nation’s top collegiate leaders, his success and work ethic has also brought national exposure to West Virginia University as Lyons is helping shape the future of college athletics with his presence on several national and prestigious committees. For 2022-23, he will continue to be a member of the NCAA Transformation Committee that is rewriting NCAA policies and procedures and forming the organization’s guidelines for decades to come. He has also been a member of the NCAA Division I Council for several years and will again chair that distinguished committee in 2023. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he chaired the all-important Football Oversight Committee and played a key role in the sport overcoming, adjusting and managing the difficulties to complete the 2020 season. There’s no doubt that Lyons’ even-keeled demeanor, ability to think outside the box and solve problems played a major role in having a football season in 2020.
Additionally, Lyons serves on the NCAA Working Group on Transfers, the Football Competition Committee and the NCAA Wrestling Academics Enhancement Working Group. Making a difference and enhancing the student-athlete experience on these committees is his No. 1 objective. His work with WVU President E. Gordon Gee’s senior leadership team and the Big 12 Conference has brought additional respect and positive exposure to his department and the University. He’s been a member of the Big 12 Administration Committee, Finance and Budget Committee and the Game Management and Officiating Subcommittee, while chairing the Big 12 athletic directors committee in 2018.
Lyons began his career in college athletics in July 1988 as assistant commissioner of the Big South Conference. With the Big South, he
THE LYONS FAMILY: Brooke, Shane, Emily, Cameron and the family dog Zoey was in charge of conference-wide compliance and championships.AnativeofParkersburg, West Virginia, and a graduate of Parkersburg High, Lyons was a standout basketball player for the Big Reds. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in sport management from WVU in 1987 and 1988, respectively.Lyons,the University’s 12th athletic director, and his wife, Emily, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, have two children: Cameron and Brooke. Cameron is a graduate student-athlete and member of the football team at UNC Charlotte and Brooke is a sophomore at WVU.
In moving his department forward, his Climbing Higher facilities master plan keeps West Virginia a strong Power 5 institution and positions his department for growth and continued success.
Also, a Clinical and Sport Psychology unit that he formed for better student-athlete mental health, creating the department’s first Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee and first-class nutrition program for all 18 varsity teams further confirms his belief and commitment to helping the total student-athlete well-being and advancement.
There’s a reason Shane Lyons was named NACDA Athletics Director of the Year in 2021, it’s because he spends endless hours daily for the betterment of more than 500 student-athletes and their day-to-day needs in order to help them succeed in the classroom and in competition. His open lines of communications have made him a popular role model for WVU student-athletes and coaches. His honest, fair and caring approach has led to success on and off the field. Whether it’s regularly scheduled meetings with the studentathletes or his open-door office policy, Lyons has his finger on the pulse of his department.
Ask him and he’ll tell you it’s not his department, but West Virginia’s department, and part of his job is to develop our country’s future leaders. He cares, and the proof is in what he has accomplished for Mountaineer athletics in his seven years on the job.
Lyons came to West Virginia after spending more than three years as the deputy director of athletics and chief operating officer at Alabama. He worked closely on day-to-day strategic leadership, the direction of the overall Crimson Tide Athletic program and was the direct second in charge.Prior to joining the Alabama staff in November 2011, Lyons spent 10 years as an associate commissioner at the Atlantic Coast Conference. At the ACC, Lyons focused on conference-wide compliance and academic initiatives, providing direct assistance to the conference’s presidents, chancellors and athletics directors in dealing with NCAA regulatory matters. In addition, he served as the ACC’s human resource manager and was responsible for the administration, negotiation and mediation of the employee benefits program and managing the conference’s organizational policies and procedures. He was part of the senior administrative team for ACC events, including the football championship game, the men’s basketball tournament and men’s and women’s NCAA basketball events. Prior to working at the ACC, Lyons served as associate athletics director for compliance at Big 12 member Texas Tech from 1998 to 2001. During that time, Lyons assumed responsibility for the leadership, administration and implementation of a comprehensive NCAA compliance program with emphasis toward rules education and extensive monitoring systems. He also served as oversight administrator for several of the Red Raiders’ athletic teams and had financial and operational supervision of the strength and conditioning, nutritional and sports medicine units. Before joining Texas Tech, Lyons worked at the NCAA for almost 10 years as a senior membership services representative, where he was responsible for the oversight and coordination of rules and interpretations for the 25 membership service representatives and was the staff liaison to various NCAA standing committees.
