When asked about which one player could surprise this season, West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen singled out running back Shawne Alston. According to coach, Alston has slimmed down and has become a vocal leader for the Mountaineers.
Alston is the most experienced rusher but will have to contend with Dustin Garrison and Andrew Buie for touches. I expect that Alston will be used more situationally because of his size so maybe shy away from him on draft day.
