According to multiple reports, WVU Football will hire former Alabama graduate assistant Doug Belk to fill the vacant cornerbacks coach position. The role was vacated by Blue Adams last week.

He played for Carson-Newman College, a Division II school in Jefferson City, Tennessee, as a quarterback and wide receiver from 2006-2010. He is from Valdosta, Georgia, and played for Lowndes County High School.
