WVU safety Kerry Martin accuses asst. coach Vic Koenning of mistreatment

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — WVU rising sophomore safety and Capital High School graduate Kerry Martin posted a lengthy tweet Tuesday afternoon detailing what he says are a series of inappropriate comments by second-year WVU defensive coordinator Vic Koenning.

In the tweet, Martin wrote about several alleged incidents with Koenning since the spring of 2019. He begins by referencing former WVU safety Derrek Pitts, who has since transferred to Marshall. Martin states, “Starting back to Spring Ball 2019 before guys started to transfer, Coach Vic has antagonized Derrek Pitts for believing in something that he didn’t believe. He would make remarks about the Bible and talk about religion in front of Derrek, making him want to question the things he believed.
