Pass rusher Curtis Jones Jr., subbed in as a running back, powered through traffic to pick up West Virginia’s first touchdown against Colorado. Later, Jones carried the ball again and picked up WVU’s go-ahead touchdown to beat the Buffaloes, picking up its second-straight win of the season.
Jones plays on both sides of the ball. Two-way players are a rarity in college football. Most players hone in on one side because it’s too difficult to keep up with playing a drive on offense and a drive on defense, especially with tempo offenses speeding up the game, eliminating rest.
Last year, Colorado’s Travis Hunter did what most thought was impossible. Hunter played corner and wide receiver at an above-average level for a Power Four program. His feat won him the Heisman Trophy in 2024.
