Dykes chose the Mountaineers over Pittsburgh, Missouri, Louisville, Cincinnati, Toledo, and Clemson. Each of his favorites, along with several other schools, had offered him a scholarship with the exception of Clemson.
Keilen has been a starter since his freshman year and this past season he collected 80 tackles including 18 sacks. Last season, Dykes used his 4.8 speed in the 40 and a 400-pound bench press to overwhelm his opponents and was named to the Division Two All-Ohio team.
“I just knew West Virginia is where I wanted to be, they’ve been my favorite all along,” Dykes said of his decision.
