MORGANTOWN — WVU added another offensive lineman Thursday afternoon.

Wyoming offensive guard Wes King has reportedly committed to the Mountaineers, according to CBS Sports’ Chris Hummer. He considered Texas and Kansas State as other options.

King is a veteran offensive lineman who’s been with Wyoming since 2022, after committing as a 3-star lineman recruit out of high school. King didn’t play his freshman season and redshirted. In his sophomore year, he took over. King started in all 13 games and helped running back Harrison Waylee rush for the century mark four different times. He missed some time in 2024 with an injury, but started in eight games. King played a role in the Cowboys’ 604-yard performance against Mexico State. King played in 12 games in 2025, tallying 33 starts over three seasons.

King is a big lineman at 6-foot-5, 313 pounds, adding a lot more size to the room. The Mountaineers already made a splash Wednesday night when Kansas State lineman Devin Vass committed. Vass is 6-foot-6, 308 pounds. WVU also added 4-star Kevin Brown in the high school class, who is 6-foot-6. Rich Rodriguez’s biggest complaint from 2025 was that the line wasn’t able to move mass up front, and now the Mountaineers should be able to.

WVU’s offensive line needed help after a rough 2025 season. The Mountaineers allowed 31 sacks, which was the second-most in the Big 12. The performance was bad enough for Rodriguez to move on from offensive line coach Jack Bicknell and hire long-time line coach Rick Trickett to replace him.

With portal editions, WVU’s offensive line should improve. Both guard spots should be filled for 2026. Vass and King will fill the guard spots, then Landen Livingston will return at center, and Nick Krahe will take one of the tackle spots. WVU could add another tackle if it doesn’t feel Brown will make an immediate impact.
