Andrew Phares is a compact, high-effort WVU receiver with playmaking juice
Phares arrives at West Virginia as a short, quick, under-the-radar wideout who earned attention in high school for producing 35 catches, 632 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns as a senior at Morgantown, plus a viral one-handed, five-defender grab that hints at strong ball skills and confidence in traffic[5][9]. WVU and ESPN list him as an active freshman/redshirt freshman WR, but public college stats are still limited, so the main appeal is his twitch, competitive energy and local-sleeper upside rather than proven production against FBS defenses[2][4][8].
