Coach Miller says “Quintin Pfautz returns for his senior season looking to get the Mountaineers into the playoffs. Head Coach Kris Miller stated that Quintin was limited during the 2022 season with an injury only playing 5 games yet still finished near the team lead for tackles on defense. Quinton has one of the best motors as a football player I’ve ever coached. He has a relentless pursuit to the football. He’s a dominate blocker from his Tight End/H-Back position on offense as well”.

How was the 2022 season for you?
I broke my arm in practice after week 1 and then had a plate & 6 screws put into my left wrist radius.
