Every year, we hear about the great work that Assistant Athletics Director/Head Coach for Strength and Conditioning Mike Joseph does in helping develop players in the weight room. He is the key for getting players on the field early in their career while helping others take the next step so that they're able to fill a bigger role.

Since last season, several Mountaineers have made strides in the weight room. So to highlight which players have gained (or added) the most weight/muscle, we combed through the entire roster and compared this year's listing to last year's roster.
