Marquel Blackwell (Running backs Coach)
The only “newcomer” to the West Virginia coaching staff is running backs coach Marquel Blackwell. Blackwell enters his first season at WVU after leaving Toledo, where he had a productive two seasons. Former runningbacks coach, Tony Dews has moved onto the NFL and has joined the Tennessee Titans. Blackwell knows a thing or two about NFL talent, as he helped pave the path for current Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt, whom he coached at Toledo. Blackwell has already made his presence known on the recruiting trail and appears to have four capable backs that he can utilize this upcoming season.
