West Virginia offensive tackle Wyatt Milum is one of the best players in the country — and he’s being paid like it.
Milum, 6-foot-6 an 317 pounds, was an All-Big 12 pick in 2023 after allowing zero quarterback hits and zero sacks and was the only West Virginia player to make On3.com’s NIL Valuations for college football players, coming in at No. 65.
Milum’s total NIL valuation wasn’t disclosed by On3.com but he’s started 31 consecutive games for the Mountaineers and Pro Football Focus has him listed among the top offensive tackle prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft.
From PFF: “Milum has been a starter for all three of his years in Morgantown, spending his freshman campaign at right tackle before flipping over to left tackle for the last two seasons. Since moving to left tackle in 2022, Milum’s 82.5 grade is a top-15 mark among all tackles in college football. This past season, his 89.6 pass-blocking grade on true pass sets was second among FBS tackles to only Houston’s Patrick Paul. Milum has a good anchor and is overall a very strong player who projects best in a gap scheme.”
West Virginia hasn’t had a first-round pick in the NFL Draft since Karl Joseph was taken No. 14 overall by the Oakland Raiders in 2016 and hasn’t had an offensive tackle taken in the first round since Brian Jozwiak was taken No. 7 overall by the Kansas City Chiefs in 1986.
Wyatt Milum has been an impressive tackle for WVU in all three of his seasons, spending first at RT before flipping to LT in 2022 and 2023.
