Truss (6-7, 309 pounds) was ranked as the ninth-best IOL on Reuter's list, and Zierlein had him projected as a sixth-round pick. Central Missouri tackle Gabe Clark (6-6, 320 pounds) earned D2CCA first-team All-American honors in 2023 at the Division II level. Reuter had Clark ranked as the 14th-best undrafted OT this spring. Oklahoma State center Joe Michalski was a team captain in the final two seasons of his six-year college career.

Jacksonville takes WVU lineman Wyatt Milum in third round of NFL Draft
MORGANTOWN — West Virginia homegrown talent, offensive lineman Wyatt Milum, heard his name called in this year's NFL Draft. The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Mountaineer lineman Milum with the 89th overall pick in the third round. He was the first WVU player off the board and could be the first of a couple selected or signed in the following days. Milum started 43-of-47 games over four seasons at WVU. After allowing three sacks as a freshman, Milum didn't allow a single sack in his final two seasons. Last year, Milum was named Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year. In 2023, he didn't allow a quarterback hit, either on 753 snaps, earning all-Big 12 second team, according to the coaches. Milum led a unit that had the longest streak of games with 140-plus rushing yards out of all Power Four schools. Milum will look to help protect the Jaguars' franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence. He will also play for a first-year head coach in Liam Coen. Despite his success at tackle, Milum might be suited to be a guard at the professional level because of his shorter 32 1/8-inch arm length. The NFL average for tackles is 34 1/8 inches. Milum could take some time getting a starting role, but with his improvement over his years in Morgantown, he could potentially receive a starting spot in the future. 'I want to prove that I can play anywhere on the offensive line,' Milum said at the Senior Bowl to Draft Network. 'From guard to center and offensive tackle, I want to show the scouts that I can play them all. I also want to show everybody how physical I am and how smart of a player I am. I'm excited to get after it down there.' Milum is the second WVU offensive lineman drafted in the past two years. The Pittsburgh Steelers selected center Zach Frazier in the second round last year.

Milum started 32-of-36 games at tackle for West Virginia, including 31 in a row in games that he played, but has been projected to kick inside to the offensive guard position. A powerful run blocker, Milum was named second-team Associated Press All-American, Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year, and First-team All-Big 12.
