Legg went 19-23 last season and hit all 35 extra points, earning 2021 All-Big 12 Honorable Mention. He was named Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week following a three-field goal evening against TCU where he hit from distances of 28, 39 and 47 yards.
Woods tallied 31 tackles, including 22 solo stops, two tackles for loss, two interceptions, four pass breakups and two fumble recoveries in 2021 while earning Big 12 Co-Newcomer of the Week and WVU Defensive Player of the Week: TCU.
