Two-Sport Athletes

Apparently B-Stew (That’s what the cool kids get to call Bill Stewart now) is a way big fan of the two-sport athlete. Now that we know Richard Rod was holding these guys back, we are now seeing an influx of football players joining the other varsity on campus. First, it was Jarrett Brown joining Bob Huggins and the basketball team. Then rumors that fellow reserve QB Bradley Starks would do the same. Pat White may spend a stint this summer in the outfield for a minor league affiliate of the Anaheim Angels. And now the latest is kicker Pat McAfee joining coach Marlon LeBlanc and the nationally-ranked Mountaineer soccer team. But who says it has to stop there? We have found some other guys on the WVU roster that definitely will draw interest in other sports interests this off-season:

   

Ed Collington, John Holmes, and James Ingram have oddly enough decided to join the Ultimate Frisbee team.

 

Punter Scott Kozlowski will be pairs figure skating with Meg Bulger.

Wes Lyons is looking to try his hand at badminton, while Noel Devine will reportedly attempt to become a jockey in the Preakness Cup.

Tito Gonzales will take a cue from the Beijing Olympics and compete in jai-alai. 

Former WVU running back Jeremy Bruce will be training for the luge, and hopefully staying away from the ice luge.

and, finally Owen Schmitt will wrestle a bear. That’s cruelty to animals.
