WVU's Smart, Versatile LB Veteran (2003-07)
Bobby Hathaway, a gritty 6-2, 225-pound linebacker for the West Virginia Mountaineers from 2003-07, stood out not for size but for elite football IQ, game speed, and versatility across linebacker and special teams roles in 45 games. Transitioning from a dominant high school senior year at Carmichaels (1,455 rush yards, 24 TDs in 2006), he excelled as a physical, scheme-savvy defender who made plays through intangibles. Reliable sources praise his intensity and multi-role fit—perfect for teams needing smart, tough competitors over raw athleticism.
