WVU Kicker Casey Legg Retires from Football

The Mountaineers are in need of a new kicker.

West Virginia has a lot of needs entering this offseason and that list just grew a little longer as kicker Casey Legg has decided to retire from football, according to Taylor Kennedy of MetroNews.

The Charleston, West Virginia native was a Lou Groza Award semifinalist in 2021, connecting on 19-of-23 field goal attempts. He bested those numbers in what would be his final season in the Old Gold and Blue in 2022, making 14-of-15 field goal attempts. Legg did have one year of eligibility remaining, but he has graduated and has been in the program since 2018. He will finish his career 40/49 with a long of 51 yards.

Current kicking options include Danny King, Leighton Bechdel, and RJ Kocan.
