Walter Young Bear brings proven guard experience and plug-and-play toughness to WVU
A former walk-on who turned into a 33-game, 13-start interior lineman, Walter Young Bear gives West Virginia a sturdy, battle-tested guard with real starting experience. In 2024 he started all 11 games at left guard, and his current profile points to his biggest differentiators: power, awareness, and dependable pass protection rather than flash. He also brings veteran steadiness, academic discipline, and a clear developmental arc, which makes him a strong fit for a team that values reliability, physicality, and low-drama line play.
