Destin Achi gives WVU a big-bodied, late-arriving linebacker with upside
Destin Achi is a 6-foot-2, 220-pound sophomore JUCO transfer who arrived at West Virginia in July 2026 and is viewed more as a developmental depth piece and special-teams candidate than an immediate starter. He was described as a field general and team captain at his previous stop, which hints at leadership, toughness, and a defense-first mentality. The Mountaineers already have a deep linebacker room, so the key appeal is his physical profile, compete level, and room to grow in WVU’s system.
