West Virginia really likes its skill-position players for the annual OVAC Rudy Mumley All-Star Football Game.

However, head coach John Kelley knows even with talented skill players, line play — on both sides of the ball — is usually key to determining the ultimate success of winning and losing.

When Kelley, who is the head coach at University High School, surveys his line options, he’s comfortable with what he sees.

“We don’t have the size that we thought we would, but we have the ability to form a nice rotation, so kids don’t get worn down in the heat,” Kelley said. “I really like our defensive ends. I think they have some nice speed. We’ll be okay up front. We have some really strong kids.”

Here’s a capsule look at the players:
