2016 West Virginia Mountaineers

[Heretic]

Since 2006, West Virginia has started 11, 9, 10, 9, 7, 7, 4, 9, 6 and 6 Whites

The 2016 West Virginia Mountaineers look to start 5 Whites

Offense:
QB Skyler Howard
LG Tony Matteo
C Tyler Orlosky
RG Kyle Bosch
TE Stone Wolfley
FB Ellijah Wellman

Defense:
LB Justin Arndt

West Virginia University is located in Morgantown, WV which is 89.7% White and 4.1% black according to the 2010 US Census.

The projected number of White starters on West Virginia's football team is 7/22 which is 31.8%.

This means that White football players are underrepresented by 57.9 percentage points (89.7% - 31.8%) given the geographic location of the University

They had a pretty fair recruiting class last year but this is again pathetic.

TE Stone Wolfley, FB Elijah Wellman, and SAM LB Justin Arndt are also listed as starters on WVU's official depth chart.

This blue collar state is 89.5% White and yet the football team starts 3 whites out of 22.

I don't see how any White person in this state could support this team.

Same could be said for almost every southern team and half the northern and teams out west.. America 2.0

Thanks.

An updated "Our Lads" projection now has LG Tony Matteo along with FB Elijah Wellman as starters, so I added them above. I also saw a couple of articles that show the TE and LB that you mention as starters, albeit precarious for Arndt, so I added them above as well.

Colton Mckivitz takes over at left tackle due to an athlete being injured for the rest of the year, so West Virginia gets a little whiter.

Nice they're up to 8 now and sadly one of the more white friendly teams in Big 12.

Wow, from 3 to 8. That was quick. A few more moves in the right direction and the Mountaineers will again be a team to root for.

It will be very interesting to see what their record is during that time.
