Beatty Adds Recruiting Coordinator Title at WVU

The promotion says a lot about Chris Beatty as a man, as a coach and as a recruiter.  WVU coach Bill Stewart has announced that Coach Chris Beatty will add the responsibilities of Director of Recruiting to his plate.  Additionally, Beatty will coach Fullbacks in 2010.  That group is added to his current responsibilities of coaching running backs and slot receivers.

Beatty’s rise to coaching stardom has been a quick one.  Beatty was a high school coach until Percy Harvin finished his high school career at Landstown High School in Virginia Beach.  Beatty moved on to become offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Hampton University in 2006.  In 2007, Beatty became running backs coach at Northern Illinois.   The departure of Rich Rodriguez from West Virginia opened the door for Beatty to join a BCS staff.   Beatty started his tenure at WVU in 2008 and hasn’t looked back.

Beatty has been recognized as a top recruiter and now will head up the recruiting efforts for WVU since the departure of Doc Holliday who moved on to become head coach at Marshall University.  Since Beatty has numerous 757 connections, you can expect Beatty and WVU to continue to recruit heavily here. 

Congrats on the promotion, Coach Beatty!
