Dameyune Craig joins former Auburn teammate in latest coaching move, per report

Former Texas A&M assistant Dameyune Craig is expected to be hired as an offensive assistant coach at Georgia State by coach Dell McGee, per 247 Sports.

It will be a reunion of former Auburn teammates.

Craig had been the receivers coach under then-coach Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M from 2018 to 2023. While Craig was a star quarterback at Auburn (1994-97), Fisher served as his position coach. Craig also coached under Fisher in various roles at LSU (2004) and Florida State (2010-12, 2017).

He’s got previous SEC experience at Auburn, where he held the co-offensive coordinator title in addition to coaching the wideouts.

McGee, meanwhile, was a four-year letterwinner at Auburn from 1992-95.

Georgia State hired McGee, a former Georgia assistant coach, last week to a five-year deal.

McGee, 50, was the Bulldogs’ run game coordinator and running backs coach, and he joins the Panthers after spending the past eight seasons as a Georgia assistant.

McGee replaces Shawn Elliott, who agreed earlier this month to return to South Carolina as tight ends coach and run game coordinator.

Georgia State is coming off a 7-6 season that included a win over Utah State in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
