MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Travis Trickett’s second stint in Morgantown will be a little different than his first go-around 20 years ago.
The final piece of West Virginia coach Neal Brown’s staff, Trickett confirmed Monday that he will work with inside receivers and tight ends. He spent the last two seasons as offensive coordinator at Georgia State.
Serving a prominent role on a Power Five coaching staff has always been a goal for Trickett. Now the 34-year-old gets to do so at WVU, the place where he started as a student assistant.
But Trickett wasn’t sure how realistic that was, even though his father Rick was the offensive line coach for the Mountaineers from 2001-06.
