The Mountaineers have a new wide receivers coach, and it's a familiar face too. Trey Elder, who was a quality starting and backup quarterback for the ASU football team, is back with the Mountaineers. Elder had been the wide receivers coach at Byrnes High School, his other alma mater, this past year, after serving as a graduate assistant in 2008 for the Mountaineers. Elder posted a 7-1 record as a starter while at ASU from 2004-2007, winning three national championships along the way. He was most noted for guiding the Mountaineers to a 29-23 victory against Furman in the 2005 Division I-AA semifinal, which led to an eventual national championship. He was also a stellar signal caller for Byrnes, being named Mr. Football for South Carolina in 2003. He led the Rebels to an undefeated season and the 4A Division II state championship with a 40-14 victory against Conway that year. He will now be the position coach for his brother, Blake Elder, who is entering his senior season with the Mountaineers.
