Homegrown WVU DL with size, strength, and a long climb to snaps
Ryan is a West Virginia native and former Keyser standout who arrived at WVU as a late walk-on, giving him a gritty, underdog profile that coaches tend to love. The 6-foot-2, 254-pound defensive lineman has no listed college stats yet, but his appeal is in his toughness, local-rooted buy-in, and multi-sport strength background, including state-level shot put success. He looks like a depth-and-development fit more than an instant impact piece, with his biggest question being how quickly he can translate high school trench physicality into Big 12-level game speed.
