Daikiel Shorts, Houston, Wide Receivers Coach (26)
One of the most productive wide receivers in West Virginia history, Shorts has been just as impactful in his, ahem, short time on the coaching side of things. After a brief run in the NFL, Shorts opted to return to West Virginia to work under Dana Holgorsen. When Holgorsen left West Virginia for Houston, he took Shorts with him as the program’s Director of Player Development. This offseason, Shorts was elevated to wide receivers coach. His rise has been rapid, but as one Houston source told 247Sports: “I’ve never met anyone who doesn't like Daikiel. He gets along with everyone and does everything the right way.”
