Take center stage.

Like Ricky Rogers.

Known to fans as No. 85 on the Mountaineer football team, this wide receiver loves performing — at games, on the dance floor and in the classroom. His first semester he earned a 4.0.

He’s got big plans. Mountaineer big. From playing in the NFL to starting his own dance studio — West Virginia University is helping him get there.

“WVU was the perfect fit for me for both football and dance. I loved the atmosphere on game day. It feels like home to me.”

Ricky doesn’t see dance and football as separate. He has dance professors who are also athletes, teammates who help him face challenges and coaches who support his every move.
