West Virginia OC Jake Spavital Reportedly Named Texas State Head Coach

Texas State has reportedly found its next head coach in West Virginia offensive coordinator Jake Spavital.

On Wednesday, Keff Ciardello of the Austin Statesman reported Spavital has signed a deal to take over the Bobcats football team.

Spavital has served as an offensive coordinator at three different schools for the past six seasons. The 33-year-old worked with Johnny Manziel at Texas A&M in 2013. Manziel threw for more yards (4,114) and touchdowns (37) with Spavital than during his Heisman Trophy season the previous year.

After parting ways with Texas A&M, Spavital spent 2016 with California before going to West Virginia.
