Morgantown, WV – It has been nearly two months since most of Neal Brown’s staff at WVU was officially let go from the program. Brown, who was fired on December 1st, saw all but two members of his staff relieved of their duties after Rich Rodriguez was brought on to lead the program.
Andrew Jackson, who coached the defensive line under Brown, was one of the coaches who were not retained by the new leadership. Moments ago, fans learned where Jackson will go next.
According to Matt Zenitz of 247Sports, Jackson is heading to Penn State to serve as a defensive line analyst under James Franklin.

During his four seasons with the Mountaineers, Jackson helped lead the defensive line to some impressive feats. As pointed out by Zenitz, the unit led the entire Big 12 in sacks in 2023.
