ATLANTA – Georgia State head coach Shawn Elliott has completed his first coaching staff, led by offensive coordinator Travis Trickett and defensive coordinator Nate Fuqua.
Trickett, formerly the offensive coordinator at Florida Atlantic and Samford, will also coach quarterbacks. The offensive staff includes offensive line coach Cedric Williams, wide receivers coach Trent McKnight, and running backs/tight ends coach Josh Stepp.
Fuqua, who will coach outside linebackers, was formerly the defensive coordinator at Wofford. He is joined by defensive line coach Jess Simpson, inside linebackers coach Rusty Wright, cornerbacks coach Sam Shade and safeties coach Chris Collins.
“I set out to hire coaches who will raise the level of the program, and I’m very pleased with the staff we have put together,” Elliott said.
