Toyous Avery Jr. brings veteran toughness and ball skills to WVU's secondary
Toyous Avery Jr. is a redshirt senior safety at West Virginia listed at 5-11, 205, with a reputation for physical, confident play and real playmaking pop in the back end.[2][1] In his recent WVU seasons, he showed he can fill the stat sheet with tackles and pass breakups, including a 2018 line of 42 tackles, 2 interceptions, and 1 sack, which signals a safety who can tackle, trigger downhill, and make quarterbacks pay.[1] The bigger sell, though, is the veteran edge: he has battled back from injury, brings JUCO-tested maturity, and has long been viewed as a capable NFL-level defensive back with strong instincts and competitive fire.[3][4]
