MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia football coach Neal Brown has announced that ShaDon Brown will join the Mountaineer coaching staff as an assistant coach on the defensive side. Brown will announce staff assignments at a later time.
“I’m excited that ShaDon and his family will be joining the Mountaineer football family,” Neal Brown said. “I have known him for many years as we played at rival high schools in Danville, Kentucky. I have been impressed with the climb he has made during his career, first as a high school coach and now at the college level. He will be an outstanding addition to our staff with his ability as a coach and recruiter.”
Brown comes to Morgantown after serving as the safeties coach at Louisville for the past two years.
In 2020, the Louisville secondary led the ACC in passing defense and was No. 17 nationally, giving up 189.2 yards per game. The Cardinals defense was No. 3 in the ACC in scoring defense, total defense and pass efficiency defense.
In 2019, Brown guided a safety group, which was led by Khane Pass, who posted a career high 81 tackles and made the key defensive play in the Music City Bowl win by returning a fumble for a touchdown late in the game. Brown was named one of the top 30 recruiters in the ACC by 247Sports.
“I want to thank Neal Brown and the administration for the outstanding opportunity to come to West Virginia University and be a part of the Mountaineer football program,” ShaDon Brown said. “Neal has done a great job building the program, on and off the field. I’m excited to be a part of this program as we continue building on the great history and tradition at West Virginia and competing in the Big 12 Conference, one of the top leagues in college football. I’m also looking forward to working with the coaching staff and the student-athletes.”
