a versatile West Virginia playmaker with a little bit of everything
Cassel Smith’s West Virginia profile reads like a classic all-purpose threat: in his WVU career, he logged 24 rushing attempts for 121 yards, 3 receptions for 40 yards, and 3 total touchdowns, while also seeing work on returns and even a move toward wide receiver[10][11][15]. The real hook is his versatility and toughness — WVU described him as one of the best athletes on the team, but his development was also slowed by injuries, which adds a bit of boom-or-bust intrigue[5].
