Derek Jewell Derek Jewell 5'10" | 170 lbs | WR Tug Valley | 2027 State WV has grown steadily within the Tug Valley program and now enters his senior offseason positioned for a much larger spotlight. The 2027 receiver produced 500 receiving yards and six touchdowns as a junior while also contributing defensively with 49 tackles and an interception, showing the kind of two-way value that keeps him on the field. In an offense loaded with talented athletes, he often worked as a secondary option, but his route-running and ability to threaten defenses at multiple levels stood out. Jewell moves well with the ball in his hands and has the versatility to create after the catch or line up in different spots within the formation. The next step is turning that steady production into a featured role as a senior and proving he can consistently carry a larger share of the offense. If he does that, Jewell has the type of well-rounded skill set that could draw college attention while establishing himself as one of the more reliable playmakers in a talented 2027 group for the Panthers.
