Former West Virginia University offensive lineman Doug Nester finds a new home in Pittsburgh

Last season, Nester helped pave the way for one of the top rushing attacks in the country, leading power five conferences in rushing with 2,976 rushing yards, ranked 11th nationally with 32 rushing touchdowns and second overall for fewest sacks allowed with 10.
