Andrew Warwick is in his first year as the linebackers coach after serving as an assistant defensive coach on the Mountaineer staff in 2025.

Promoted to linebackers coach in early 2026, he joined the Mountaineer football staff in 2025 after spending the previous three years as the co-defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach at Wofford.

In 2025, WVU finished No. 15 nationally in team tackles for loss (6.7), No. 23 in fumbles recovered (9), No. 36 in turnovers gained (20) and No. 42 in sacks (2.33). Linebacker Reid Carrico was tied for No. 10 in the Big 12 in sacks and linebacker Chase Wilson was tied for No. 17 in interceptions.

During the 2024 season, the Terrier defense ranked No. 4 in the Southern Conference, which included a pass defense that led the league. In 2023, the defense reached No. 3 in the conference.

He spent the previous three seasons as the linebackers coach at Troy. His tenure showed one of the best turnarounds in the nation as the Trojans improved 38 spots nationally in total defense from 2019 to 2020. They led the country with four defensive scores and by 2021, they were No. 24 in total defense.

Prior to his time at Troy, he was the defensive coordinator at Jacksonville State during the 2018 season. Warwick led the nation’s 15th-ranked defense in his lone season at Jacksonville State as the Gamecocks allowed just 311.3 yards per game and won their fifth straight Ohio Valley Conference title. The Gamecocks ranked No. 7 nationally with four defensive touchdowns and finished No. 7 with 7.2 tackles for loss per game.

Warwick joined the Gamecocks staff following six seasons in various roles at Clemson. During his tenure, the Tigers won the national championship in 2016, made the title game in 2015 and earned a berth in the College Football Playoff in 2017. Clemson posted a combined 72-11 record during his six seasons in Death Valley and won four major bowl games – 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl over LSU, 2014 Orange Bowl over Ohio State, 2015 Orange Bowl over Oklahoma and the 2016 Fiesta Bowl over Ohio State – in addition to its title victory over Alabama.

Warwick served as the senior defensive analyst in 2017 in his final season under defensive coordinator Brent Venables when Clemson finished No. 2 in the nation allowing just 13.6 points per game and No. 4 allowing just 276.7 yards per game.

He was a defensive analyst on the 2016 National Championship squad that finished No. 8 nationally in total defense after two seasons as the defensive director of player development.

Warwick began his Clemson career as a grad assistant in 2012.

The native of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, began his coaching career in 2008, when he became the defensive backs coach at Thomas More College and helped lead the Saints to a league title. Warwick spent the 2009 and 2010 seasons at Central Oklahoma. Prior to his stint at Clemson, Warwick spent one season at Coffeyville Community College in 2011.

Warwick earned his bachelor’s degree in history from Knox College in 2007 where he was a three-year starter at tight end and wide receiver. He won the Mike Cross Award as the team’s top receiver in 2006. He recived his master’s degree in athletic leadership from Clemson in 2014.
