West Virginia has announced Blaine Stewart — the son of the late West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart — will be the new tight ends coach at West Virginia.
“Blaine Stewart is no stranger to West Virginia University football. His father was a part of this program for 11 years, including three as the head coach, and Blaine grew up around Mountaineer football. I am happy to welcome him home,” Brown said. “He has worked with multiple position groups, coordinators and offensive systems with the Pittsburgh Steelers to go along with their special teams. I have a tremendous amount of respect for coach Mike Tomlin and the entire Steelers organization and Blaine comes highly recommended.
Stewart has been with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the past four seasons, most recently serving as the assistant wide receivers coach.
“I am so thankful to Coach Neal Brown for the opportunity to return home to a program that means so much to me and my family. West Virginia will always hold such a special place in my heart,” Stewart said. “It is an honor and privilege to come home to represent not only the University, but the entire state. I am ready to get to work to provide a product that Mountaineer fans will be proud of on and off the field.”
Stewart attended James Madison University as well as the University of Charleston where he played collegiate football. Stewart will be replacing Sean Reagan as the tight ends coach, while Reagan will return to being the quarterback coach, where he served under Brown from 2019-2021.
