Late-blooming WVU safety who brought instant credibility
In the 2007 season, Ryan Mundy was a plug-and-play transfer for West Virginia, starting immediately at safety and helping power a Fiesta Bowl run with 62 tackles, 7 forced fumbles, and 3 interceptions. His differentiators were maturity, range, and physicality—plus the kind of veteran steadiness coaches love in the back end. He also battled through a prior shoulder injury at Michigan, which adds some context to his resilience and toughness. If you want a defense-first DB with experience, instincts, and a no-drama edge, he absolutely fits the bill.
