Since 2015, Moore has mentored 17 all-conference players. During his career, he has coached in 13 bowl games and been a part of 11 teams who have won at least eight games, including four, 10-win seasons.
"I am thrilled to add Matt Moore to our staff," said Virginia Tech Head Coach Brent Pry. "He brings extensive experience coaching offensive lines at the Power Four level. His proven ability to develop strong, tough offensive line units that play with exceptional physicality will be a tremendous asset to our program. His leadership and expertise align perfectly with our vision for Virginia Tech football.”
Moore spent the past six seasons at West Virginia (2019-24) as the offensive line coach and has served as assistant head coach since 2020. While in Morgantown, Moore tutored offensive tackle Wyatt Milum, a 2024 consensus All-American, along with offensive tackle Zach Frazier, a two-time All-American (2021 & 2023) and Colton McKivitz who earned 2019 All-American honors.
