Michael Molinari brings elite special-teams experience and coach’s-eye reliability to WVU
Michael Molinari’s value is in the boring-but-winning stuff: he knows the specialist game, has handled both punting and kickoffs for West Virginia, and was trusted in high-leverage special-teams roles in his WVU career. In the 2013 season, he averaged 37.2 yards per punt with 11 inside the 20, and in his final two seasons he handled kickoffs with 45 touchbacks across 138 attempts. He reads like a steady, assignment-sound specialist who can mentor younger kickers, though his biggest calling card is consistency rather than explosiveness.
