In this video clip from MetroNews and their nightly "Statewide Sportsline," West Virginia University Assistant Football Coach and Defensive Coordinator Tony Gibson piled major praise of Bridgeport High School alum and Mountaineer redshirt freshman Dylan Tonkery.

 

Tonkery, who could see substantial action at linebacker early with the injury of David Long, was singled out as being the "under the radar guy" that could make a difference. Gibson also added that Tonkery was a "a winner" and mentioned Bridgeport as well in this roughly two-minute video clip that starts with discussion on freshman defensive back Derreck Pitts.
