Reynaud will follow teammate Slaton to NFL Draft
Junior wide receiver Darius Reynaud will skip his senior season at West Virginia and enter the 2008 NFL Draft. Reynaud complete the trifecta of Mountaineers bolting from Morgantown. Former head coach Rich Rodriguez took the head coach job at Michigan, and running back Steve Slaton is also forgoing his senior year at West Virginia to enter the draft as well.
Reynaud was the top receiving threat for West Virginia this season, finishing with 733 receiving yards. Reynaud hauled in two touchdowns in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl trouncing over Oklahoma 48-28 on Jan.3rd.
Reynaud had 64 catches in 2007, tying him for fourth all-time in a season in school history. His 12 touchdown receptions tied former West Virginia wide receiver Chris Henry’s school record in 2004. Reynaud was also named to the all-Big East second team for the second consecutive year. His departure leaves a big void in wide out core for West Virginia, with no other Mountaineer having more than one touchdown reception all season.
