Ty French brings proven pass-rush production and veteran versatility to WVU
Ty French is a productive, high-motor defender whose best trait is disruption: over his Gardner-Webb career he piled up **34.5 sacks** and **61 tackles for loss**, then in 2024 at West Virginia he added **22 tackles** and flashed as a versatile linebacker/edge piece. He matters because he offers a real pass-rush presence with toughness and experience, not just raw tackle totals, and that kind of front-seven volatility can fit a defense that wants pressure from multiple alignments.
