Texas State is bringing West Virginia and former Texas A&M offensive coordinator Jake Spavital back to the Lone Star State.
The Bobcats officially announced Wednesday afternoon that Spavital has been hired to be the new head coach in San Marcos. The Athletic's Bruce Feldman first reported the official hiring.
Texas State let go of former head coach Everett Withers on Nov. 18 following the Bobcats' 3-8 campaign. Withers went 7-28 in three seasons in San Marcos.
This is the first head coaching job of Spavital's career. He has been the offensive coordinator at West Virginia since 2017.
