The late Russ Meredith was a four-year football letterman, playing for WVU during the 1917 and the 1920-22 seasons.

Playing tackle on both offense and defense, he served as team captain in 1922, the same year he was named All-America by the New York World. In the East-West Bowl that year against Gonzaga (WVU's first-ever bowl game), Meredith returned a fumble 80 yards for a touchdown.
