Wvu’s “Home King” to make more noise in 2025 – Western Virginia football

Last spring, Grant Hussy grinned from ear to ear as he moved around the PNC Park bases in Pittsburgh.

Hussy had just set the record for home running in West Virginia, and now in his fourth season as a climber, he will look to continue his development in 2025 while still representing his home country.

“I hired the man when he was 15 years old. That’s why I know Grant Hussy for a really long time. And to see his development in the last six or seven years is great,” Western Virginia chief coach Steve Sabins said.

Hossi breaks 12 households last season and has 37 in his career as a climber. Hossie also struck .242 in 2024, with 37 RBI, starting 54 of 57 games for West Virginia.

Hussy House of Parkersburg, W.VA., and was just a teenager when he first played a Wvu Balpark as part of the Summer League.

“He was a superstar with a very raw power. When he was 15 years old, he played for black bears as a child in high school. So he was one of the first high school students to play in a summer collegial league.

Sabins had a place in the first row to Hossie’s trip as a player.

Sabins helped recruiting Hossie, and then was obviously at the end of the home of his TROT 37 times while standing like the third WVU coach. Sabins said that Hossi’s ability to develop as a player and as a man is what stands out most.

“As I said, maturity was incredible. Watching him the one who is today, I feel confident that he will have his best year of his career here because he is very clear right now. He said.

For school like Western Virginia, there is a lot of pride in fans and people in the program when a homemade child like Hussy has the kind of success he has. Sabins admits that he also says that Hussy was and will continue to be a critical part of the climbers’ baseball program.

“He really is proud to represent the state. He is proud to be in Western Virginia and be a climber. So having such boys, this put the program in the first place is critical,” Sabins said.
