DOVER -- When an offensive lineman is virtually invisible on the football field, that is when things are going well. Such has been the case for Wesley College's Anthony West this season.
West, a 2006 graduate of Laurel High, gets his quiet satisfaction when Wolverines running back Brandon Wright races to a 100-yard rushing day, or when quarterback Justin Sottilare goes an entire game without being sacked.
Each game, we're just getting stronger and stronger -- each quarter, each minute and each play, we're just getting stronger and stronger," said West, a 6-foot-2-inch, 307-pound senior. "We've been bit by the injury bug all year, and we know the game starts up front with us five. We're like a balled-up fist up front. It's just us five. We've got each other's backs."
West has enjoyed his experience at Wesley, especially considering that he has family and friends that get to travel to the games and continue to watch him play. He is no longer at the southern edge of Sussex County, but it is not that long of a drive, especially to see a pro prospect.
West impressed NFL scouts in 2009 with his 34-inch reach and 5.07-second 40-yard dash.
