Towering LB Transfer Bolstering WVU Defense After MSU Tenure
John Lewis, a 6-4, 225-pound redshirt senior linebacker, transferred to West Virginia for 2025 after playing 40 games at Mississippi State (44 tackles, 4.5 TFLs, 1 PBU) and a spring stint at UNLV; his size, consistent snap volume (340 in 2025), and reliability in late-season games highlight his physicality and tackling prowess, making him a disruptive edge presence with starter potential—ideal for teams needing veteran depth and run-stopping intensity without injury concerns.
