Lloyd Sharrar

Men's Basketball

The man in the middle during WVU's Golden Age of basketball, the late Lloyd Sharrar was a key reason why the Mountaineers made consecutive NCAA appearances during his three years starting at center from 1956-58.

The Meadville, Pennsylvania, native left WVU as the school’s career rebound average leader at 13.4 per game, and he set a school record with 1,178 career rebounds (which was broken two years later by Jerry West's 1,240). He scored 1,101 career points and ranks among WVU's season rebound, rebound average and free throw leaders.
