2018 Coaches Preview
Tyron Carrier (Wide Receivers Coach)
Carrier has completed only two years as a full-time coach but is seen as a great hire by Holgorsen. In 2016, both Dakiel Shorts and Shelton Gibson earned All-Big XII honors and now play professionally in the NFL thanks to Carrier’s guidance. Carrier was once a receiver himself at Houston where he played for Holgorsen during his coaching stint with the Cougars. He helped turn David Sills V from a former quarterback into a Biletnikoff Award finalist, which shows you his potential as a coach. Junior Gary Jennings led the Big 12 conference in receptions (97) and was one of two Mountaineers with 1,000+ receiving yards. The 2018 season should be a big year for Carrier and his group, as he has two guys (Jennings and Sills) both capable of going high in the 2019 NFL Draft.
