Report: WVU Football to Add Coach to Defensive Staff
West Virginia appears to be adding a new coach to the defensive staff. WVU is expected to hire Appalachian State defensive line coach Victor Cabral as the outside linebackers coach, per Matt Zenitz of 247 Sports.
Cabral would be leaving one group of Mountaineers for another as he moves up to the major conference level in the Big 12. While not a direct replacement, this move gets the defense another coach after losing Dontae Wright when he left to take over as defensive coordinator at Troy.

Cabral, who took over the defensive line at Appalachian State before last season, helped lead a group that contributed to a defense that totaled 16 sacks in 2023.
A former defensive lineman at Georgia Southern in the early 2000’s, Cabral spent time at GSU before joining Appalachian State.
The WVU football program has yet to formally announce the hiring of Cabral.
