Pro Football Focus Projects Wyatt Milum to Go in First Round of Latest Mock Draft
Not much has gone right on the football field this year for the West Virginia Mountaineers, but there has been one constant – Wyatt Milum playing exceptional football at left tackle.
The senior out of Kenova, West Virginia, has been one of the best offensive tackles in the entire country, and because of his high level of consistent play, he is now considered a first-round prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft by the folks at Pro Football Focus.
Trevor Sikkema recently projected Milum to go 18th overall to the Chicago Bears in his latest mock draft.
“Though Bears fans might be ready for the team to draft a cornerback after the Washington Commanders’ miraculous Hail Mary touchdown in Week 8, we’re not panicking at cornerback in this mock draft.
“Instead, the focus should be on quarterback Caleb Williams being pressured on more than 50% of his dropbacks against Washington. Chicago’s offensive line still needs work, and Milum has the best PFF pass-blocking grade of any of the top offensive tackles in the 2024 class.”
Milum has not allowed a single sack or QB pressure this season. He did not appear in this past weekend’s win over Arizona due to an upper-body injury, but the hope is that he will return to action out of the bye week versus Cincinnati.

CLENDENIN, W.Va . (WSAZ) – Gov. Patrick Morrisey visited Clendenin West Virginia Saturday during Summerfest.
10 years ago a devastating flood swept through the community.
The governor announced $450,000 of funding for a Streetscape project during a commemoration for the June 2016 flood. The funding will go toward Clendenin’s main street – improving sidewalks, landscaping, and other pedestrian amenities.
Funding for the project comes from the Transportation Alternatives Program – a federal initiative to fund smaller scale transportation projects.

It was a phenomenal year for the West Virginia Mountaineers on the diamond, and even with the season having been over for over a week now, the honors continue to roll in.
On Friday, second baseman/catcher Gavin Kelly and left-handed starting pitcher Maxx Yehl were both named First-Team All-Americans by D1Baseball.com. It is the first time in program history that two Mountaineers have been recognized as First-Team All-Americans in the same season.
Gavin Kelly
Kelly was essentially everyone’s pick to have a breakout season for the Mountaineers in 2026, but I’m not sure anyone expected him to do it the way he did. He hit nearly .400 all year and went on a power surge out of nowhere toward the end of the season, becoming one of the top home run hitters in the country over the last month or so of the year.
Kelly was named a Golden Spikes Award semifinalist, the MVP of the Morgantown Regional, and is currently participating in the Team USA Collegiate National Team training camp in Cary, North Carolina. For the year, he hit .382 with 19 home runs and 63 RBI, cementing himself as a top draft prospect in 2027.
Maxx Yehl
Maxx Yehl was one of the best stories in all of college baseball that didn’t get talked about nearly enough. He was forced to sit out the 2025 season as he was recovering from Tommy John surgery, and prior to this season, Yehl worked exclusively out of the bullpen. The plan all along was to eventually stretch him out into a starter, and in his first year in the role, he was one of the best in the entire country.
Steve Sabins and Co. did a good job of playing it safe with him early, letting him only go two and four innings in his first two starts before turning him loose. There were a couple of moments where Mountaineer fans had to take a deep breath after he was removed from two starts, one of which was in the Morgantown Regional against Kentucky. He bounced back strong and two days later, pitched a gem against the Wildcats, helping the team advance to the super regionals for the third straight season.
Yehl finished the season with a 9-3 record, an ERA of 2.13, and 112 strikeouts to just 26 walks. He was also the first WVU hurler to win Big 12 Pitcher of the Year since Alek Manoah, who did it in 2019.
