Tavon Austin Favors Mountaineers

Posted Dec 10, 2008
[Maryland offensive coordinator James] Franklin and offensive line coach Tom Brattan were at Dunbar in an attempt to make an impression on star running back Tavon Austin -- which apparently they did. That said, Austin later said that West Virginia is his favorite college as he prepares to take his official visits to colleges. Austin said he plans official visits to Maryland, West Virginia, North Carolina and Michigan. "West Virginia is my favorite right now," said Austin. (Washington Post)
