Life as a Mountaineer: Kenny Bigelow Jr.
October 22, 2018 05:00 PM | Football
Our introduction to Kenny Bigelow Jr. came on the very first play of the season when he sacked Tennessee quarterback Jarrett Guarantano for a two-yard loss.
Since then, Bigelow Jr. has become one of the anchors on West Virginia's defense. In this week's Life of a Mountaineer, Bigelow recalled his first play as a Mountaineer after transferring from USC.
"The excitement running through me at that moment with all of my adrenaline pumping I knew I was going to give everything I had on that play right there and it worked out," he said. "The center happened to misstep and went to his left instead of going right and I just got off the ball and sacked him."
Defensive line coach Bruce Tall says Bigelow Jr. is a natural defensive tackle.
"He's so powerful and explosive and he moves so well for a big guy," he said. "He carries his weight extremely well and he looks the part."
Producer Scott Bartlett visits with Bigelow this week as the Mountaineers get prepared for Thursday night's big game against Baylor on FS1.
