Henry Weinreich is in his second year as the nickels/sams coach on the Mountaineer staff.

In 2025, the defense 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).

Nickel/safety Fred Perry finished No. 14 nationally in fumbles recovered and was tied for No. 5 in the Big 12 Conference in forced fumbles, No. 14 in tackles for loss and No. 18 in tackles.

He came to West Virginia from Oklahoma, where he worked with WVU defensive coordinator Zac Alley as a defensive analyst, focusing on the linebackers and safeties. Aside from game-day duties, he was responsible for opponent breakdowns and scouting reports. During his tenure, he helped mentor two All-SEC performers, including consensus All-American Danny Stutsman.

Prior to Oklahoma, Weinreich worked at Jacksonville State from 2020-23, serving as a graduate assistant before being promoted to defensive analyst, where he worked with the Gamecock linebackers. Aside from game-day duties, he was responsible for opponent breakdowns and scouting reports. During his tenure, he coached three all-conference performers.

Prior to Jax State, Weinreich was at West Georgia as a graduate assistant, working with the linebackers as well as the scout offensive and special teams units. He coached linebacker Korie Rogers, who was an honorable mention All-American.

Weinreich also turned in coaching stints on the defensive side of the ball at Rhodes College (2018-19) where he had two all-conference selections, and at Washington University (2017-18), coaching yet another all-conference performer.

Weinreich played college football at Rhodes as a linebacker and safety. He was a four-time all-academic athlete and part of the 2013 Southern Athletic Association championship team. He was a four-year special teams performer and a starter on defense as a senior, helping the Lynx to a 26-14 record during his career.

Weinreich received his bachelor’s degree (2017) from Rhodes in chemistry, a master’s degree from Jacksonville State in sports management (2021) and a master’s degree also from Jax State (2023) in business administration.
