The Wheeling Miners are excited to announce the signing of Sean Russaw (RB)!

Standing at 6'0" and 250 pounds, Russaw brings a rare blend of size, power, and explosiveness to the Miners' backfield. His football journey includes collegiate stops at Alabama State University and Bluffton University, along with valuable professional indoor football experience.

A true downhill runner, Russaw thrives on physicality. He attacks running lanes with authority, powers through contact, and consistently battles for extra yardage. His combination of balance, vision, and finishing ability makes him a dangerous weapon in the ground game and a difficult player for defenders to bring down.

Sean Russaw adds another tough, hard-nosed presence to the Miners offense, and we're excited to see what he brings to Wheeling this season.

Welcome to the Miners family, Sean! ⛏️ 🏴‍☠️
