West Virginia football head coach Neal Brown has announced that long time NFL scout Drew Fabianich has been hired as the General Manager, Director of Scouting for the Mountaineer Football program.
“Drew is a strong addition to our football staff and brings more than three decades of experience in both the pro and college ranks with him,” Brown said. “He has a great reputation in the NFL and around college football for his scouting knowledge, player development and personnel decisions. He is very well connected in the game and will not only be a valuable asset to our coaching staff but also to our players. I know he will make a positive impact on Mountaineer football.”
Fabianich spent last season at Auburn in the same position. Fabianich will be bringing 37 years of experience to Morgantown with him, including 18 years as part of the scouting department with the Dallas Cowboys, including his last 14 as a national scout.
At WVU, Fabianich will organize, scout, and oversee all aspects of the game analysis and game planning for the football program. He will also work with the football head coach and administration on all aspects of roster management.
“I am thrilled to be joining the Mountaineers,” Fabianich said. “I have been to Morgantown many times in the past and appreciate the tradition and passion that surrounds the program. I share Coach Brown’s vision and direction for the teams, and I look forward to helping him and the entire staff build a championship program, now and in the future.”
Before joining the Cowboys in 2003, Fabianich spent 18 years as a college and high school coach, last holding the position of defensive coordinator and secondary coach at W.T. White High School in Dallas.
Fabianich joined the Cowboys in 2003 as a Southeast and Midwest scout until he was promoted to a national scout in 2005. During his tenure, Dallas had one of the highest percentages of NFL Pro Bowlers drafted in the NFL, having 67 pro bowl appearances during his time.
