West Virginia's cornerback room has a different body type in the fold and one that's bound for the next level.
has struggled in press man coverage for the most part in recent years and because of it, defensive coordinator Jordan Lesley has had to adjust his plan for how to attack offenses.
This offseason, the Mountaineers went out and snagged former Northwestern corner Garnett Hollis Jr. out of the transfer portal who they hope can help fix that problem and open up Lesley's playbook. Hollis already has the attention of NFL scouts, including the executive director of the Reese's Senior Bowl, Jim Nagy.
Checking in at 6'1", 200 lbs, Hollis is easily the biggest and longest corner the Mountaineers have had in quite some time and that alone will help prevent them from getting shoved around down the field. If he can essentially eliminate one half of the field, WVU can get really creative with how they dial up pressure and move guys around in the secondary.Publisher of Mountaineers Now on FanNation/Sports Illustrated.
