West Virginia University senior offensive tackle Wyatt Milum continues stacking up national awards as his collegiate career comes to a close. The Associated Press announced Tuesday that Milum was named to its All-America second team, marking the third All-America honor the lineman has received so far.
Milum also has been named first-team All-American by Walter Camp and the American Football Coaches Association. He is the third WVU player to be named an AP All-American in the last two seasons. He is the 57th AP All-American in WVU history and the 21st to earn a spot on that team since 2000.
The senior has not allowed a sack over the past two seasons and has not given up a sack in 34 of his past 36 games. The 2024 Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year, all-Big 12 first-team selection and Outland Trophy semifinalist has played in 47 games in his Mountaineer career and started 43, logging 2,951 snaps in that time.
Milum also has not allowed a quarterback hurry and just seven pressures this season. Pro Football Focus lists him as its third-rated offensive tackle, grading out at 90.1.
His 84.2 run-blocking grade is sixth nationally in PFF’s ratings, and his 89.8 pass-blocking grade is fourth.
With Milum leading the way, WVU is one of only two schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision with three players gaining at least 600 rushing yards this season. WVU is 27th this year in the FBS averaging 192.67 yards per game.
