Morgantown’s dependable road-grader at tackle
In the 2024 season, Nick Malone emerged as one of West Virginia’s most reliable offensive linemen, earning a projected starting right tackle role after years of climbing from walk-on to scholarship player. His edge is consistency: coaches trusted him in 53 career games with 17 starts, and reports repeatedly praise his reliability, versatility, and readiness when injuries hit the line. At 6-foot-5 and 298 pounds, he brings size, experience, and a blue-collar temperament that fits a team needing steady, assignment-clean protection more than flash.
