MORGANTOWN — Kelby Wickline has spent a fair share of time at the Texas football facility. His dad, Joe, was the Longhorns offensive line coach/offensive coordinator from 2014-’15. So for the most significant game of his career to take place at DKR-Memorial Stadium was a pretty special moment.
“No doubt, it was a big stage and I’ve been there a time or two, obviously,” Wickline said. “It was just a special moment altogether.”
Wickline filled in at left tackle following all-conference starter Yodny Cajuste’s controversial ejection in the first quarter. He ended up providing the path for Grier on his 2-point run, and thus was the first player to greet the quarterback and celebrate the feat.
“It was truly an invigorating moment for him to run off me and into the end zone,” Wickline said. “I did mention to him after that game that it was a really cool experience. It was uncontained energy to say the least. A bunch of emotions running through. It’s definitely an experience I’ll never forget.”
