Dameyune Craig | Georgia State

Dameyune Craig joins the Georgia State program as receivers coach after six seasons (2018-23) at Texas A&M, where also he coached wideouts.

Craig reunites with Georgia State head coach Dell McGee, his former teammate at Auburn in the 1990s. 

Before going to Texas A&M in 2018, Craig had previous stints with Florida State (2010-12 and 2017), Auburn (2013-15), LSU (2004 & 2016), South Alabama (2008-09), Tuskegee (2006-07) and the Miami Dolphins (2005).

Throughout his career, he has been recognized as an outstanding recruiter. In football recruiter rankings compiled by 247Sports, he was rated No. 4 nationally in 2016 and No. 9 in 2014, and he was named the 2012 Recruiter of the Year in the Atlantic Coast Conference by Scout.com.

Craig served as quarterbacks coach and recruiting coordinator at Florida State from 2010-12. He helped develop quarterbacks EJ Manuel and Christian Ponder, both NFL first-round draft picks, while coordinating recruiting efforts that produced the nation's No. 1 and No. 2 recruiting classes in 2011-12, including 2013 Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston, also a first-round draft pick. Craig helped lead the Seminoles to a 31-10 record in those three seasons.

Craig returned to his alma mater for three seasons as Auburn's co-offensive coordinator and receivers coach. He was part of the Tigers' 2013 team that won the Southeastern Conference title and advanced to the BCS National Championship game.

He moved to LSU for one season (2016) as receivers coach and then returned to Florida State in a quality control role in 2017.

Before his first stint at Florida State, he spent two seasons at South Alabama (2008-09), coaching wide receivers for the program in its first two years of play, and two seasons as quarterbacks coach at Tuskegee (2006-07), where he helped the Golden Tigers to a two-year record of 22-2, including a pair of SIAC tiles and the 2007 Black College National Championship.

Craig began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at LSU in 2004, followed by a one-year stint in the NFL as a special teams assistant for the Miami Dolphins in 2005. 

Craig was record-setting quarterback at Auburn from 1994-97, leading the Tigers to an 18-7 mark in 25 career starts. He was named offensive most valuable player in the 1996 Independence Bowl and again the following year in the Peach Bowl before capping his collegiate career with MVP honors at the Senior Bowl. He also earned Academic All-SEC honors as a senior in 1997.

A 2002 graduate of Auburn, Craig signed as a free agent quarterback with the NFL's Carolina Panthers and appeared in six games over a four-year stretch. He also played in NFL Europe, where he passed for a single-game league record 611 yards, and in the Arena Football League.
