Iron Mountaineer Award Winners Announced
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University football players Wyatt Milum, Sean Martin, Preston Fox, Garrett Greene and Austin Brinkman are named the recipients of the 2024 Iron Mountaineer Award, presented to the most outstanding performers in WVU's offseason strength and conditioning program.
Since 1996, 82 players have been tabbed with Iron Mountaineer distinction, with 18 players earning the award more than once.
Milum is a senior offensive lineman, Martin is a senior defensive lineman, Fox is a redshirt junior wide receiver, Greene is a senior quarterback and Brinkman is a senior long snapper.
The winners are the best in the testing at the conclusion of winter conditioning, measuring the broad jump, vertical jump, bench, squat, power clean lift, 225 bench, 40-yard sprint, pro shuttle, three cone, 60-yard shuttle and the 10/20-yard sprint. The winners are selected from three groups: OL/DL, QB/RB/WR/DB and FB/TE/LB/SP. The top performers in each category are selected by their teammates.
The distinctive award is a 6.2-pound coal statue made entirely of native West Virginian natural resources: coal, wood and natural wood stain. One permanent Iron Mountaineer with the names of all winners is on display in the WVU strength and conditioning complex.
