MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Country Roads Trust, the Name, Image and Likeness leader for West Virginia University student-athletes, will produce a weekly Climbing the Mountain video podcast beginning March 24.
Country Roads Trust Director of Social Engagement Amanda Mazey and former WVU offensive lineman Dale Wolfley will host the podcasts, which will run through the Mountaineer spring football drills.
“We’re excited to provide such lively content to Mountaineer fans everywhere,” said Country Roads Trust COO Stephen Ford.
“Amanda and Dale will interview coaches and players and keep us up-to-date on Mountaineer developments.”
Sponsored by Encova, the Climbing the Mountain video podcasts will be released each Thursday during spring ball and conclude with a wrap-up show after the annual Gold-Blue Spring Game.
The air dates are March 24 and 31 and April 7, 14, 21 and 28.

“We’re really looking forward to the podcasts,” Ford said.
“It will be fun, as well as informative, and will allow us to keep Mountaineer fans current on news and events surrounding Country Roads Trust.”
