Countdown to Kickoff: No. 99 Greg Robinette

We are 99 days away from the West Virginia Mountaineers 2021 season opener versus an old familiar rival, the Maryland Terrapins. As we countdown to kickoff by jersey numbers, we take a look back and highlight some of the Mountaineer greats ever to wear the old gold and blue.

First up is former West Virginia University Mountaineer defensive end Greg Robinette. The Hempden, WV native played under head coach Don Nehlen from 1996-1999 and tallied 77 tackles and four sacks during his career. As a two-year letterwinner (1998-99), he recorded a tackle in all 23 games, including registering a career-high eight tackles versus Rutgers his senior season.

Additionally, he was 3-1 against Pitt.
