“PETE” PETIT FIELD at
CENTER PARC STADIUM
HOME OF THE GEORGIA STATE PANTHERS
CENTER PARC CREDIT UNION STADIUM is the home
of Georgia State football. The Panthers took over this iconic property,
formerly Centennial Olympic Stadium and then Turner Field and venue for
Major League Baseball’s Atlanta Braves, for the 2017 season.
The facility was renamed Center Park Credit Union Stadium as part of
a 15-year, $21 million agreement between Center Parc Credit Union,
a division of Atlanta Postal Credit Union (APCU), and Georgia State
Athletics, announced on Aug. 11, 2020.
Center Parc Stadium features 25,000 seats for football, a FieldTurf playing
surface on “Pete” Petit Field and dramatic views of the Atlanta skyline. The
conversion process incorporated the existing seating areas on the north,
west and south sides of the stadium with a new grandstand constructed on
the east side, formerly the outfield.
The Panthers enter their sixth season in this impressive venue, which
also houses the Football Operations Suite, completed in 2019. All of the
program’s day-to-day operations are at Center Parc Stadium, including
weight room, meetings rooms, coaches’ offices, athletic training room and
equipment room.
Center Parc Stadium was originally
constructed as the 85,000-seat
Centennial Olympic Stadium and
used for the 1996 Centennial Olympic
Games, including the Opening and
Closing Ceremonies and the track and
field competition. Ground was broken
on the stadium on July 10, 1993.
Following the Olympic Games, much
of the north end of the stadium was
removed in the conversion to the
49,000-seat baseball park that served
as the home of the Atlanta Braves from
1997 through 2016.
The first baseball game at Turner
Field was played on April 4, 1997 as
the Braves defeated the Chicago Cubs
5-4.The stadium hosted the National
League Division Series a total of 11
times (1997–2005, 2010, 2013) and the
NL Championship Series four times
(1997–1999, 2001), as well as one World
Series (1999), one NL Wild Card Game
(2012, the first in baseball history), and
the 2000 MLB All-Star Game.
The Braves played their final game
at Turner Field, a 1-0 victory over
the Detroit Tigers, on Oct. 2, 2016. In
November 2016, the Board of Regents
approved Georgia State University’s
purchase of 38 acres of the 68-acre site
for $22.8 million, and the conversion
process began in early 2017.
CENTER PARC STADIUM
THE STRICKLAND
LOCKER ROOM at Center
Parc Stadium covers nearly
7,500 square feet. It is 55 yards
long and 15 yards wide. It also
features:
* 115 lockers and 19 televisions
* Custom Panther logo stitched
into the carpet
* Hydration area
* Center-lit helmet cabinet
in each locker, along with
power, USB connections and
ventilation system to dry gear.

ATHLETICDIRECTOR
CHARLIE COBB
CHARLIE COBB enters his ninth year at the helm of the
Georgia State Department of Athletics and 18th as a Division I
athletics director, leading a transformation for the program
throughout campus and the city of Atlanta.
T
hrough the implementation of
the department’s strategic plan,
Cobb is focused on building a
‘Culture of Success’ at Georgia State based
on five themes: Academic Achievement,
Competitive Greatness, Ethical Behavior,
Social Responsibility, and Community
Engagement. Since his hire in August
2014, multiple new facilities have opened,
while student-athletes continue their
impressive commitment to academic
performance, highlighted by a record
3.40 GPA in spring 2020. Georgia State
has received the Sun Belt’s Institutional
Graduation Award twice under his tenure.
Cobb currently serves on the NCAA
D1 Council and was a member of the
College Football Playoff (CFP) Management Committee in 2021.
On the field, the Panthers have
garnered unprecedented success during
his tenure, including 2021-22 which was
the best competitive season for GSU
teams in school history. Georgia State
led the Sun Belt Conference and finished
an all-time high No. 88 in the final 2022
LEARFIELD Division I Director’s Cup
standings.
Football set a school record for wins,
including its second straight bowl win in
its fifth bowl appearance in seven years;
men’s basketball won the Sun Belt Conference title and returned to the NCAA
Tournament for the fourth time in eight
years; beach volleyball won the Conference USA Championship and beat No.
2-ranked TCU in the NCAA Championships; men’s soccer earned an NCAA
at-large berth and won the school’s first
NCAA Tournament match; and men’s
tennis also reached the NCAA Championships after claiming the 2022 Sun
Belt Championship.
Among Cobb’s biggest projects has
been participating in the acquisition,
purchase, and re-purposing of Turner
Field, transforming the former Major
League Baseball venue into the home of
Georgia State football, now named Center
Parc Credit Union Stadium in recognition
of the $21 million, 15–year naming rights
agreement reached in 2020. Phase One of
the project was completed in August 2017
and includes new east side seating and an
artificial surface field for the football team.
Phase Two moved all football operations
to the stadium in 2019 as part of a $300
million plan to transform the 68-acre site.
In fall 2022, the men’s and women’s
basketball teams will begin play in the
new Georgia State University Convocation Center, and future construction plans
include the completion of an ‘Athletics
Neighborhood’ as part of the development
including a baseball stadium, softball
stadium and track and field venue. The
The GSU Soccer Complex for the men’s
and women’s programs was completed in
2021, and the Bobby Jones Golf Practice
Facility opened for the men’s and women’s
golf teams in 2019.
Before returning to Atlanta in
September 2014, Cobb spent nine years
as the Director of Athletics at Appalachian State. Previously he worked for six
years honing his business acumen with
the Atlanta Sports Council, the ChickFil-A Peach Bowl, and the Georgia Dome,
before returning to his alma mater, NC
State.
His leadership helped build and
maintain a high-performing program at
App State. The Mountaineers won three
consecutive Football Championship
Subdivision (FCS) national championships, the first three-peat in FCS history.
They also brought home eight consecutive Commissioner’s Cup championships
GEORGIASTATESPORTS .COM
(top men’s sports program in the Southern
Conference) and four Germann Cup
championships (top women’s program).
Together, they earned the men’s and
women’s awards in the same academic
year four times.
At App State, Cobb helped create
$50 million in facilities improvements
as the Mountaineers’ fundraising efforts
that reached all-time highs, including
surpassing the $3 million mark. The
jewel of the construction projects was the
seven-story Appalachian Athletics Center
and the campaign also produced new
homes for Mountaineer baseball, softball,
and soccer, as well as a new indoor practice facility.
The 54-year-old Cobb was a four-year
letterwinner as a football player at NC
State. He graduated with honors with a
bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1990 and earned a master’s degree
in sports administration from Ohio in
1992. As a senior center, he was named
to the All-ACC second team and was
an All-ACC academic selection. He was
awarded the prestigious Atlantic Coast
Conference’s Jim Tatum Award, which
recognizes the senior football player with
the highest GPA.
Cobb and his wife, Lindsay, have a
son and daughter, 24-year-old Harrison,
a
graduate
of
Hampden-Sydney
College who is now obtaining a dual
Master of Business Administration and
Sports Administration at Ohio University, and 21-year-old Branan, who attends
Centre College. Lindsay Cobb was an
All-ACC goalkeeper for the NC State
women’s soccer team from 1987-90 and
is currently an assistant women’s soccer
coach at Emory University.

DARREN
GRAINGER
SEASON
PREVIEW
GEORGIA STATE returns 18 STARTERS from last year’s TaxAct
Camellia Bowl CHAMPIONS as the Panthers look to build on their
streak of three straight BOWL BERTHS and four in the last five years.
U
nder sixth-year head coach Shawn
Elliott, Georgia State enters the 2022
season having won four straight
games and seven of the last eight, capped by
a dominating 52-10 win over Ball State in the
TaxAct Camellia Bowl.
The program’s second straight bowl
victory gave the Panthers a school-record
eight wins on the season. GSU also set a
program record with six Sun Belt Conference
victories in 2021 to finish second in the East
Division.
As Georgia State looks to build on that
success in 2022, most of the key players
return. On offense, the Panthers welcome
back starting quarterback Darren Grainger,
all-conference running backs Tucker Gregg
and Jamyest Williams, seventh-year senior
tight end Aubry Payne and leading receiver
Jamari Thrash. Perhaps most importantly,
GSU returns four starters from an offensive
line that has been the backbone of the offense,
helping the Panthers rank No. 8 in FBS in
rushing with 226.4 yards per game in 2021.
14
The GSU defense set school records
with 36 sacks and 92 tackles for loss in 2021
while holding five opponents to one offensive
touchdown. This unit returns All-Sun Belt
players on the defensive line, at linebacker
and in the secondary, led by two-time allconference safety Antavious Lane. Other top
returnees include inside linebackers Blake
Carroll and Jordan Veneziale, defensive
lineman Thomas Gore and cornerback
Quavian White.
Michael Hayes returns for his third
season as the Panthers’ punter, and the junior
is expected to add placekicking duties as well.
This veteran squad will be tested
by another very challenging schedule as
the Panthers face non-conference games
against Army, North Carolina, Auburn
and Charlotte. The Sun Belt Conference
is stronger than ever with the additions of
Marshall, Old Dominion, Southern Miss and
James Madison, and the Panthers will face all
four newcomers this fall.

QUARTERBACKS
Returnees: DARREN GRAINGER (R-Sr.),
Mikele Colasurdo (R-So.)
Newcomers: Keilon Brown (R-So., Transfer
from Memphis); Steven Krajewski (R-Sr,
Transfer from UConn)
Darren Grainger took over as the
Panthers’ starting quarterback and capped
his season with MVP honors in the TaxAct
Camellia Bowl. In his first season at GSU,
the Furman transfer passed for 1,715 yards
and 19 touchdowns while rushing for 660
yards and three scores. He led all Sun Belt
quarterbacks in rushing (11th overall) while
ranking fourth with 19 TD passes.
Sophomore backup Mikele Colasurdo
also returns, while a pair of transfers add
needed depth to the quarterback room
in Keilon Brown (Memphis) and Steven
Krajewski (UConn).
RUNNING BACKS
Returnees: TUCKER GREGG (Sr.*), Jamyest
Williams (R-Sr.*), Marcus Carroll (Jr.),
Antoine Lane (R-Sr.)
Newcomers: Jaquan Dixon (R-Fr.), KZ
Adams (Fr.)
Under head coach Shawn Elliott, Georgia
State emphasizes the run, and the Panthers
return two of the top backs in the Sun Belt
in the tandem of Tucker Gregg and Jamyest
Williams, both super seniors. That duo
combined for 1,812 yards and 18 touchdowns
in 2021, both earning All-Sun Belt honors.
After leading the team with 953 yards
(third in the Sun Belt) and nine touchdowns
last fall, Gregg is the No. 3 rusher in GSU
history with 1,560 yards.
Williams adds speed and explosiveness,
rushing for 859 yards and nine touchdowns
while averaging a school-record 6.71 yards
per carry, the sixth-best mark in FBS. The
former cornerback has gained 1,112 yards in
21 games since moving to offense midway
through the 2020 season.
Another name to watch is junior Marcus
Carroll, who had a strong spring. Veteran
Antoine Lane and redshirt freshman Jay
Dixon add depth, and true freshman KZ
Adams could make an immediate impact. A
finalist for the Mr. Football award in South
Carolina, Adams led the nation in rushing
with 3,343 yards and 42 touchdowns to lead
Gray Collegiate Academy to the Class 2A
state title.
WIDE RECEIVERS
Returnees: JAMARI THRASH (R-Jr.),
JA’CYAIS CREDLE (Jr.), TERRANCE
DIXON (R-Sr.*), Cadarrius Thompson
(R-Jr.), Jacob Freeman (R-Fr.), Robert Lewis
(R-So.), Christian Thomas (R-So.), Tailique
Williams (R-So.)
Newcomers: Jaylin Tolbert (R-Fr.)
Jamari Thrash, now a junior, emerged as
the Panthers leading receiver in 2021 with 32
catches for 452 yards and three touchdowns.
Junior Ja’Cyais Credle is third among
returnees with 21 receptions for 279 yards
and three scores.
Dependable slot receiver Terrance Dixon
also returns. He had perhaps the biggest
catch of the season with his 2-yard, go-ahead
touchdown with five minutes to play in the
Panthers win at No. 21 Coastal Carolina
for the first ranked win in program history.
Another key performer in the slot should be
sophomore Robert Lewis (10-67-1).
Adding depth are junior Cadarrius
Thompson, sophomores Jacob Freeman,
Tailique Williams and Christian Thomas, and
redshirt freshman Jaylin Tolbert.
TIGHT ENDS
Returnees: Aubry Payne (R-Sr.*), Kris Byrd
(R-So.), Ahmon Green (R-So.), Ezeqiel
Marion (R-So.)
Newcomers: Rykem Laney (Jr.), Avion
McBride (Fr.)
The tight end position is an important
part of Georgia State’s offense, both in the
passing game and the running attack, and the
Panthers are happy to welcome back Aubry
Payne for an unprecedented seventh season.
Payne is a two-time All-Sun Belt honoree
with 13 career touchdowns catches, the most
ever by a GSU tight end and tied for fourth
overall. He had 25 receptions for 250 yards
last season.
Sophomore Kris Byrd looks to be
the primary backup, along with Ahmon
Green and newcomers Rykem Laney, a
junior college transfer, and freshman Avion
McBride.
OFFENSIVE LINE
Returnees: PAT BARTLETT (G, R-Sr.*),
MALIK SUMTER (C, R-Sr.*), TRAVIS
GLOVER (T, R-Sr.), JONATHAN BASS (T,
R-Sr.), Avery Reece (C, R-Jr.), Luis Cristobal
(C-G, R-Jr.), Trey Bonner (G, R-Jr.), Mason

TUCKER

BLAKE
CARROLL
Newcomers: Marquez Bargman (R-Fr.),
Montavious Cunningham (R-Fr.), Cameron
Dye (R-Fr.), Bryson Broadway (T, Jr.); Alec
Johnson (Fr.), Chauncey Kamakea (Fr.)
The offensive line has been a strength
for the Panthers, and it should continue to
be with four starters--all seniors or super
seniors--returning who boast a combined 143
career starts.
That quartet consists of all-conference
super seniors Malik Sumter at center and
Pat Bartlett at right guard, along with senior
tackles Travis Glover and Johnathan Bass.
The Panthers do have a hole to fill
with the graduation of five-time All-Sun
Belt left guard Shamarious Gilmore. With
Glover able to play tackle or guard, there is
some flexibility in filling the fifth starting
position, and two strong candidates appear
to be tackles Bryson Broadway, who joined
the program in the spring as a transfer from
Eastern Illinois, and redshirt freshman
Montavious Cunningham.
Backups on the line include guards
Jonathan Brown, Avery Reece and Trey
Bonner, tackle Mason Cook and center Luis
Cristobal. Also adding depth are sophomore
Chandler Durham and redshirt freshmen
MarQuez Bargman and Cameron Dye.
Incoming freshmen Alec Johnson and
Chauncey Kamakea join the mix in the fall.

DEFENSIVE LINE
INSIDE LINEBACKERS
Returnees: THOMAS GORE (DL, R-Jr.),
Javon Denis (DE, R-JR.), Jeffery Clark
(DE, R-Jr.), Akeem Smith (NG, R-Sr.), T,
Tre Moore (DE, R-Sr.), Jeremy Butler (DE,
R-So.)
Newcomers: Tylon Dunlap (DE, R-Fr.),
Omarion Hammond (DE, R-Fr.), Fuches
Lewis II (NG, R-Fr.), JT Ellis (R-Fr.), Carlos
Fletcher (DE, Jr.); Michai Hill (DE, Fr.)
Returnees: Blake Carroll (Sr.), Jordan
Veneziale (Jr.),Marcus Anderson (R-Jr.),
Justin Abraham (R-So.), JoJo Lopez (R-Jr.),
Markland Davis (Sr.)
Newcomers: Jordan Jones (R-Fr.), Evan
Graham (R-Fr.); JT Ellis (R-Fr.)
Georgia State’s top returnee up front
is junior Thomas Gore, who can line up at
multiple positions on the defensive line. Last
fall he earned All-Sun Belt honors with a
breakout season in which he was second on
the team with 9.5 tackles for loss.
The Panthers graduated a pair of fouryear starters on the defensive line in Dontae
Wilson and Hardrick Willis, the program’s
career leaders in sacks, but several productive
players return. Jeffery Clark, Javon Denis, Tre
Moore and Akeem Smith all have starting
experience.
Depth on the defensive line will come
from a core of redshirt freshmen: Tylon
Dunlap, Omarion Hammond and Fuches
Lewis. The Panthers also added junior college
transfer Carlos Fletcher and freshman Michai
Hill.
GEORGIASTATESPORTS .COM
Georgia State has a talented tandem
at inside linebacker in All-Sun Belt seniors
Blake Carroll and Jordan Veneziale.
Carroll has made 163 tackles with 17
TFL over the last two seasons while helping
the GSU defense hold opponents to fewer
than 140 yards rushing per game. He earned
third-team All-Sun Belt honors in 2021, when
he led GSU with 11.5 tackles for loss and was
second on the team with 5.5 sacks.
A first-time starter last fall, Veneziale
was the Panthers’ leading tackler with 97
stops, including eight tackles for loss and four
sacks to earn honorable mention All-Sun Belt
recognition.
The Panthers will look to build the
depth behind Carroll and Veneziale. The
most experienced backup is sophomore
Justin Abraham, along with juniors Marcus
Anderson and JoJo Lopez. Redshirt freshmen
Evan Graham, Jordan Jones and JT Ellis, who
moved from defensive end in the spring, will
compete for playing time.

SEASONPREVIEW
OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS
Returnees: JONTREY HUNTER (R-Sr.),
JAMIL MUHAMMAD (R-Jr.), Jacorey
Crawford (Sr.*), Terrell Gordon (Jr.);
Shamar McCollum (Sr.)
Newcomers: Christopher Davis Jr. (R-Fr.), PJ
Simmons (Fr.)
The outside linebacker features senior
Jontrey Hunter and Preseason All-Sun Belt
selection Jamil Muhammad.
Muhammad, the former quarterback
who moved to defense during the 2020
season, led Georgia State in 2021 with six
sacks, tied for the second-highest season total
in program history. He had five sacks over
the final four games, including a sack-fumble
that Javon Denis returned 37 yards for a
touchdown in the bowl victory.
Hunter is an experienced defender
who was fourth on the team with 7.5 TFL
in 2021. He recovered a fumble, forced
by Muhammad’s strip sack, at the Coastal
Carolina 8-yard line to set up a fourthquarter touchdown in GSU’s 42-40 win over
the No. 21-ranked Chanticleers.
Quality depth is available with super
senior Jacorey Crawford and pass rush
specialist Shamar McCollum, along with
junior Terrell Gordon, redshirt freshman
Chris Davis Jr. and incoming freshman PJ
Simmons.
CORNERBACKS
Returnees: QUAVIAN WHITE (Sr.*),
BRYQUICE BROWN (R-Jr.), Jaylon Jones
(R-Sr.*), Ronald Cooper (So.), Chance
Singleton (R-Jr.)
Newcomers: Tony McCray Jr. (R-Fr.),
Jeremiah Johnson (Jr.); D-Icey Hopkins
(Fr.), Izaiah Guy (Fr.), JayT Jackson (Fr.)
Georgia State returns a trio of
experienced cornerbacks, led by two-time
All-Sun Belt selection Quavian White.
White is one of the Panthers’ most
experienced defenders as a four-year starter
returning for his super senior season. He
ranks second in program history with
seven interceptions, trailing only teammate
Antavious Lane.
Junior Bryquice Brown, who had two
interceptions and 42 tackles last fall, starts
opposite White, with another experienced
veteran, sixth-year senior Jaylon Jones, also
seeing plenty of action. Jones has played in 44
games with 172 tackles and two interceptions.
The Panthers will look to young players
for depth at cornerback, including sophomore
Ronald Cooper, redshirt freshman Tony
McCray Jr., junior college transfer Jeremiah
Johnson and incoming freshmen D-Icey
Hopkins, Izaiah Guy and JayT Jackson.
SAFETIES
Returnees:ANTAVIOUS LANE (R-Jr.), Jalen
Tate (R-So.), Tyreke Harrison (R-Jr.), Jaquez
Pennimon (R-Jr.),
Newcomers: Makkah Jordan (R-Fr.), Chris
Smith (Jr.), Isaiah Holland (Fr.)
The safety position features Georgia
State’s top defensive returnee in two-time AllSun Belt safety and career interception leader
Antavious Lane.
The junior from West Palm Beach, Fla.,
enters 2022 with nine career interceptions,
tied for third among all active FBS players.
Last fall he earned first-team All-Sun Belt
honors with a GSU season-record five
interceptions, capped by his second career
pick-six in the Panthers’ bowl win.
Opposite Lane, the Panthers graduated
starter Chris Moore. Candidates to earn
that job include sophomore Jalen Tate, who
started one game in 2021, and redshirt
freshman Makkah Jordan, who was named
the team’s Top Defensive Newcomer after
spring practice. Veterans Jaquez Pennimon
and Tyreke Harrison and junior college
transfer Chris Smith are also in the mix,
with freshman Isaiah Holland joining the
competition in the fall.
SPECIALISTS
Returnees: MICHAEL HAYES (P/PK, R-Jr.),
Kade Loggins (P-PK, R-So.), Seth Glausier
(LS, Jr.)
Newcomers: Tristan Lyon (P, R-Fr.); Diego
Medina (PK, Jr.)
The Panthers’ starting punter the last two
years, junior Michael Hayes has averaged 41.2
yards per punt over the 2020-21 seasons. He
also took over as the kickoff specialist last
season. Originally signed as a placekicker,
Hayes is expected to add those duties to his
work load after the Panthers graduated twoyear starter Noel Ruiz.
Three-year long-snapper Seth Glausier
returns after earning CoSIDA Academic AllDistrict honors the last two years.

HEADCOACH
SHAWN
ELLIOTT
In his 25 seasons as a Division I coach, SHAWN ELLIOTT
has been part of 22 WINNING SEASONS and 20
postseason appearances, including four BOWL GAMES
in his five years at Georgia State.
A
coaching veteran who brought 20 years
of experience in winning programs,
Shawn Elliott was introduced as
Georgia State’s third head football on Dec. 9,
2016. He came to GSU after highly successful
stints at South Carolina, where he served as the
co-offensive coordinator, offensive line coach
and interim head coach, and Appalachian
State, where he coached the offensive line.
In 25 seasons as a Division I coach, Elliott
has been part of 22 winning seasons, 20 teams
that reached the NCAA playoffs or a bowl
game, and three consecutive NCAA FCS titles
from 2005-07.
That success has continued at Georgia
State, where Elliott has led the Panthers to bowl
games and winning seasons in four of his five
years in Atlanta, including the first three bowl
victories in program history.
Elliott’s 2021 squad won seven of its last
eight games to a set the program record with
eight victories. The Panthers achieved their
third straight winning season at 8-5 while
earning Georgia State’s third straight bowl
berth, also firsts in program history. GSU
capped the season with a resounding 51-20
victory over Ball State in the TaxAct Camellia
Bowl to win back-to-back bowl games for the
first time.
After facing one of the toughest schedules
in the Group of Five, Georgia State fought back
from a 1-4 start to set the school-record for
wins and establish a program record for Sun
Belt Conference victories with a 6-2 mark, good
for second place in the East Division.
The 2021 team achieved another milestone
with the program’s first win over a nationallyranked opponent as the Panthers knocked off
No. 21 Coastal Carolina 42-20 on the road.
The Panthers featured one of the nation’s
top rushing attacks, averaging 226.4 yards
per game to rank No. 8 in FBS, along with an
aggressive defense that set school records 38
sacks and with 92 tackles for loss. Thirteen
Panthers were named to the 2021 All-Sun Belt
Conference team.
Other highlights of Elliott’s first five years
at GSU include the first bowl victory in school
history, Georgia State’s first winning season
as an FBS program, and then-school record
seven-win campaigns in both 2017 and 2019.
Elliott and his staff navigated the unique
challenges of 2020 to steer the Panthers to a
winning season, capped by a victory in the
LendingTree Bowl, marking the first backto-back winning records and bowl berths in
school history.
The 2020 Panthers featured another
prolific offense that averaged a school-record
33.3 points per game and an opportunistic
defense that ranked in the top 10 in the nation
in sacks with 35, the school record at the time,
and turnovers forced with 21. Along the way, a
program-record 14 individuals earned All-Sun
GEORGIASTATESPORTS .COM
Belt honors.
The 2019 season began with another major
first for the Georgia State program as Elliott’s
Panthers earned a dominating 38-30 victory
over Tennessee at Neyland Stadium for the
school’s first win over a Power 5 opponent.
Elliott was named the Dodd Trophy
National Coach of the Week, and his Panthers
were recognized as the FWAA Reveal Suits
National Team of the Week. That is the third
time that Elliott has been part of the National
Team of the Week; his Appalachian State team
was recognized for its 2007 victory at Michigan
and his South Carolina squad for its 2010 win
over No. 1 Alabama.
The win over Tennessee launched a recordsetting 2019 season as the Panthers won seven
games in the regular season for the first time
and achieved their best home record with a 5-1
mark.
Bolstered by one of the top rushing attacks
in the nation, the 2019 team set numerous
team and individual records, most notably
establishing new season standards for points,
touchdowns, rushing yards and total offense.
Following the regular-season, 10 Panthers
were named to the 2019 All-Sun Belt Conference squad, and the team earned a berth in the
NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl.
Despite taking over a Georgia State
program playing just its eighth season of
football in 2017, Elliott not only guided GSU

to a bowl game in his first year at the helm,
but he led the Panthers to their first bowl
victory, 27-17 over Western Kentucky in the
AutoNation Cure Bowl. That win gave the
program a then-school record seven victories
in Elliott’s first season.
Under Elliott’s watch, the Panthers achieved
benchmark performances on both sides of the
ball. The 2017 GSU defense set season records
for fewest points allowed per game, and fewest
rushing yards allowed per game (136.4). The
defense also recorded the first shutout in school
history.
On offense, the Panthers established new
marks, since broken, for highest completion
percentage (64.2) and fewest interceptions (9)
in a season, as well as most total yards in a game
(670) and most points vs. an FBS opponent
(47).
Nine Panthers earned All-Sun Belt
honors in 2017. Senior cornerback Chandon
Sullivan shined in the classroom and on the
field as Georgia State’s first football Academic
24
All-American and the first Panther to be
invited to the Reese’s Senior Bowl.
Sullivan, one of three 2017 seniors to sign
NFL free agent contracts, is now with the Green
Bay Packers.
After inheriting a senior-dominated roster
for his first season, Elliott’s second campaign
proved to be a rebuilding year as the Panthers
were forced to play numerous freshmen.
Still, there were many positives during
the 2018 season. First-year quarterback Dan
Ellington passed for more than 2,000 yards, led
the team in rushing and set a school record for
fewest interceptions.
Punter Brandon Wright ranked No. 3 in
FBS in punting average and net while setting
the Sun Belt record at 48.3 yards per kick.
The Ray Guy Award semifinalist is GSU’s first
semifinalist for a major college football award.
Standout receiver Penny Hart finished
his career ranked fourth in Sun Belt history
in receiving yards and eighth in receptions.
He signed a free agent contract with the

Individual honors in Elliott’s first four
seasons include 40 All-Sun Belt Conference
honorees, Georgia State’s first two players
selected to the Reese’s Senior Bowl, seven
former players signed to NFL free agent
contracts and a first-round selection in the CFL
draft.
The accolades extend to the classroom with

five Academic All-District® selections. The
Panthers posted a program-record 3.03 GPA in
Elliott’s first semester and nearly matched that
with a 3.0 for the spring 2020 term.
Before taking over the Georgia State
program, Elliott worked seven seasons
(2010-16) at South Carolina under Will
Muschamp and Steve Spurrier, highlighted
by three consecutive 11-win seasons from
2011-13 during the most successful run in the
Gamecocks’ history. In addition to coaching
the offensive line, he was the running game
coordinator in 2010 and 2011, was elevated
to co-offensive coordinator in 2012, and then
served as the interim head coach following
Spurrier’s retirement midway through the 2015
season.
Elliott originally joined the South Carolina
staff in 2010 and helped the Gamecocks reach
five straight bowl games while coaching some
of the most prolific and balanced offenses in
school history. The Gamecocks turned in the
program’s best offensive season, statistically, in
2013, averaging 34.1 points while rolling up a
school-record 452.3 yards per game.
South Carolina’s 2014 unit scored nearly 33
points per game while averaging over 440 yards
of offense as All-America and All-Southeastern
Conference offensive guard A.J. Cann paved the
way. In 2010, Elliott’s first season in Columbia,
his offensive line blocked for record-setting
running back Marcus Lattimore, the National
Freshman of the Year.
In addition to Cann, a third-round draft
pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2015,
Elliott developed future NFL linemen Corey
Robinson, Ronald Patrick, Brandon Shell, T.J.
Johnson and Rokevious Watkins.
Before going to South Carolina in 2010,
Elliott coached his entire career at Appalachian
State, his alma mater. In 13 seasons there,
he was an integral part of App State’s three
consecutive NCAA titles from 2005-07 as well
as the Mountaineers’ historic upset at Michigan
in 2007.

NATE FUQUA
Defensive Coordinator / Outside Linebackers
Sixth Year at GSU
N
ate Fuqua is in his sixth season as
Georgia State’s defensive coordinator
and outside linebackers coach. Since
joining head coach Shawn Elliott’s original
staff in 2017, he has helped coach the Panthers
to four bowl berths and four winning seasons
in five years.
Over the last two seasons, the GSU defense
ranks among the national leaders with 73
sacks and 167 tackles for loss while allowing
less than 140 yards rushing per game (3.65
yards per attempt) and forcing 42 turnovers,
all key factors in Georgia State’s back-to-back
winning seasons and bowl victories. Fuqua’s
outside linebackers have accounted for 30 of
those 73 sacks.
Last fall, the Panthers set school records
with 38 sacks and 92 tackles for loss, breaking
records set the previous season. GSU forced
21 turnovers, one shy of the program record,
including 17 takeaways as the Panthers won
seven of their final eight games. The defense
allowed 141.4 rushing yards per game, thirdlowest in school history, with a GSU-record
3.51 yards per carry. The Panthers also set the
GSU single-game record by holding Arkansas
State to minus-3 yards rushing.
In 2020, Fuqua’s defense ranked in the Top
10 in FBS in sacks (No. 7 with 35) and turnovers forced (No. 8 with 21). The Panthers’
average of 136.6 rushing yards allowed per
game was the second-best mark in school
history, including four of the program’s top 11
single-game performances.
The defense keyed GSU’s late-season run,
allowing averages of 19.0 points and 322.0
yards of total offense over the final four games
of 2021, capped by the LendingTree Bowl win
over Western Kentucky, in which the Panthers
allowed a season-low 284 yards.
In 2019, Fuqua’s defense played a key role
in the Panthers’ landmark victory at Tennessee,
holding the Volunteers to just 93 yards rushing.
Another top performance was allowing just 63
yards passing in the win over Army.
In his first season running the Panther
defense, Fuqua was nominated for the 2017
Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant
coach. His unit set GSU season records for

17 years with Power Five programs, is in
his fourth year as the head strength coach
for Georgia State football. He joined the
Georgia State program in January 2019
after seven years at Georgia Tech and previously worked 10 seasons at
Vanderbilt.
Sisk’s strength and conditioning program paid immediate dividends
for the GSU program, helping the Panthers to back-to-back bowl
victories in his first two seasons. Following the 2019 season, offensive
tackle Hunter Atkinson and punter Brandon Wright signed NFL free
agent contracts.
In his seven seasons as Georgia Tech’s director of player
development, Sisk helped develop and train 26 student-athletes who
signed National Football League contracts, including nine NFL draft
picks. He was a vital part of the program’s five bowl berths and 2014
Capital One Orange Bowl victory and Top 10 national ranking.
He went to Georgia Tech in 2012 after one season as director of
strength training and conditioning at Furman (2011), but prior to
that, Sisk served as the director of speed, strength and conditioning
at Vanderbilt for 10 years (2001-10). At Vanderbilt, Sisk coached four
strength and conditioning all-Americans at Vandy, including former
NFL quarterback Jay Cutler. Cutler and former Chicago Bears offensive
linemen Chris Williams both went through Sisk’s strength-training
program at Vandy before being selected in the first round of the National
Football League Draft. Sisk directed the strength training regimen for
12 Vanderbilt players that signed NFL contracts, as well as four Major
League Baseball first-round draft picks, including No. 1 selection and
future Cy Young Award winner David Price.
Sisk first worked in college athletics as an assistant strength coach at
Furman for two years (1993-94) before serving as the head strength and
conditioning coach at his alma mater, Western Carolina, for two years
(1995-96). He moved on to Clemson for four years (1997-2000) before
his 10-year stint at Vanderbilt.
A Waynesville, N.C., native, Sisk played football at Western Carolina
and graduated from WCU with a degree in sports administration. Upon
graduating, he spent three years as
a football and strength coach at
Tuscola (N.C.) High School.
In 2011, Sisk was one of eight

and Conditioning Coach (MSCC)
by the Collegiate Strength and
Conditioning Coaches Association.

No. 3 in the final NAIA poll. The Eagles also earned a playoff berth and
top-10 national ranking in 2015 and produced 44 all-conference players
and two all-Americans in four seasons.
In his first stint at Georgia Tech (2011-13), Derenthal interned with
the football, baseball, softball, swimming and diving, and track and field
programs.
Before getting into the strength and conditioning field, Derenthal
served as a football graduate extern at Temple.
Derenthal was a four-year letterwinner and two-time team captain
as an offensive lineman at Temple (2004-08). He signed a free-agent
contract with the New York Giants in 2009 before returning to college

PASSING
ARMY 43, GEORGIA STATE 10
Game 1: Sept. 4, 2021 • 12 p.m. (ESPNU)
Center Parc Stadium • Atlanta, Ga.
Georgia State fell to Army 43-10 in the season
opener at Center Parc Stadium.
Head coach Shawn Elliott got right to the point
after the disappointing loss. “It all starts with the
head coach, and the head coach did a very poor job
of preparing our team,” he said.
“We didn’t play very well all the way around. It
was an embarrassing effort, and I told our team, ‘It
falls on my shoulders.’ I prepared the team, and it
wasn’t right the way, but we certainly know how to
fix it. Our players understand what it’s going to take
change that mindset heading into next week.”
Army executed its ball-control offense to
perfection, collecting 258 yards rushing and four
touchdowns, while the Panthers managed just 48
yards rushing and 129 yards passing in less than
18 minutes of possession time. Georgia State hurt
itself with two turnovers and a couple of untimely
penalties.
“Congratulations to Coach Monken and Army,”
Elliott continued. “This game was about toughness
today, and you quickly saw who was the tougher team
out there. We fumbled on our opening possession
and things just went south from there.
After the Panthers’ early fumble led to a 7-0
lead for Army, Georgia State had a chance to swing
the momentum when Army fumbled a punt. In an
unusual sequence of events, the Panthers recovered
but were flagged for holding at the line of scrimmage.
After the penalty, the ensuing punt was also fumbled
and recovered by the Panthers, but that play, too, was
nullified by another holding call. Army held onto the
third punt.
“I don’t think I’ve punted on a possession three
times, recovered two fumbles and had two holding
calls,” said Elliott.
With GSU trailing 21-0 midway through the
second quarter, the Panthers put together a 10-play,
75-yard scoring drive, capped by Destin Coates’
94
16-yard touchdown run on the board with four
minutes left in the half.
After forcing a punt, the Panthers took over at
their own 7-yard line with 1:20 left, but quarterback
Cornelius Brown IV was intercepted on the first play
and Army tacked on another scored to take a 27-7
lead in the locker room.
One of the bright spots for the Georgia State
offense was sophomore receiver Jamari Thrash, who
stepped into the starting lineup and recorded career
highs with seven receptions for 87 yards, including
a spectacular one-handed grab on the Panthers’ lone
touchdown drive.
Coates scored his 16th career touchdown and
finished with 48 yards, giving him an even 1,500 for
his career and tying him with Travis Evans for second
place in Georgia State history. Tra Barnett is the GSU
career leader with 2,156 yards.
Super senior placekicker Noel Ruiz booted a
33-yard field goal, his ninth-straight field goal dating
back to last season.
Brown was 12-for-20 for 129 yards passing.

NORTH CAROLINA 59, GEORGIA STATE 17
Game 2: Sept. 11, 2021 • 7:30 p.m. (RSN/ESPN3)
Kenan Stadium • Chapel Hill, N.C.
Georgia State fell at No. 22 North Carolina 59-17
at Kenan Stadium.
Trailing 14-0 in the first quarter, Georgia
State got some momentum when Dontae Wilson
recovered a fumble at the UNC 19-yard line, setting
up a 37-yard field goal by Noel Ruiz. Playing in his
home state, the Wilson, N.C. native connected for the
10th straight time to put the Panthers on the board at
14-3 with 3:28 to play in the first quarter.
The Panthers put together a 17-play, 75-yard
drive that ate up 7:30 on the clock in the second
quarter. Tucker Gregg kept the drive alive with a
fourth-down conversion on a 6-yard run to the UNC
21. Three plays later, quarterback Cornelius Brown
rushed for a 4-yard touchdown to make the score
21-10 with six minutes left in the half.
Georgia State went into the half trailing 24-10,
and it was still a two-possession game with six
minutes to play in the third quarter, but the Tar Heels
scored four-straight touchdowns, including three
over a 5:24 stretch in the third quarter.
“There were times in that football game when
we looked really sharp,” head coach Shawn Elliott
said. “In that second quarter, I was really pleased. We
were playing with momentum and with effort and
enthusiasm, and it’s 24-10 at the half. Then we come
out there in the third quarter and within the blink of

68 yards as the Panthers pounded the ball on the
ground, finishing with 181 yards to hold the edge in
the time of possession 30:17 to 29:43.
“At times we controlled the line of scrimmage
and ran the ball well, getting four or five yards a
clip. But when you’re playing a team that’s scoring
as quickly as they did, it’s hard to keep doing that,”
Elliott said. “We’ve got to have a combination of run
and pass to be successful. We’ve got to improve.
“We didn’t throw the ball and we didn’t catch
very well,” he continued. “There were some great
opportunities to make some big plays down the field,
but we missed some throws and had some drops.
Throwing and catching is something we do every
single day, and for whatever reason, we missed it
tonight.
Back-up quarterback Darren Grainger played
the fourth quarter and rushed for 53 yards on four
attempts, including a 36-yard scamper down to
the 2-yard line. Tucker Gregg ran seven times for
31 yards, including two fourth-down conversions,
while Marcus Carroll rushed six times and scored a
touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Sam Howell, a preseason Heisman Trophy
candidate, led North Carolina, ranked No. 22 in the

touchdowns.

GEORGIA STATE 20, CHARLOTTE 9
Game 3: Sept. 18, 2021 • 7 p.m. (ESPN+)
Center Parc Stadium • Atlanta, Ga.
Georgia State piled up 298 yards rushing to
back an outstanding performance by the defense as
the Panthers earned their first victory of the season
by defeating previously unbeaten Charlotte 20-9
Saturday night at Center Parc Stadium.
Georgia State (1-2) controlled the line of
scrimmage on both sides of the ball as the GSU
defense held the 49ers (2-1) to just 276 total yards,
the seventh-lowest figure in program history and
lowest since holding ULM to 262 yards in 2018.
Making his first start for the Panthers,
quarterback Darren Grainger passed for 139 yards
and two touchdowns while rushing for 64 yards. The
junior transfer threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to
Jamari Thrash and a 28-yard scoring strike to Ja’Cyais
Credle.
Senior running back Tucker Gregg pounded out
76 yards on 22 carries, while senior Jamyest Williams
added 73 yards on just seven carries and scored his
first career touchdown on a 13-yard run to seal the
win with 1:38 left. Destin Coates gained 83 yards, the
bulk of it on a 64-yard run.
“This win happened exactly the way we needed
it to,” head coach Shawn Elliott said. “It was a tough
contest. We really had to fight and claw. It wasn’t easy
by any means, but I’m very pleased with the way we
did it.
“A phenomenal defensive effort. Our defense
was all over the place. They were relentless. A strong
running game and a great defense makes for a happy
football coach,” Elliott said
After allowing a safety, Georgia State trailed 9-7
midway through the third quarter when Grainger
directed a 6-play, 66-yard scoring drive, capped by
his 28-yard TD to Credle. That gave the Panthers
their first lead at 13-9 with five minutes left in the
third quarter.
Charlotte drove deep into GSU territory, but
Blake Carroll caused a fumble that Chris Bacon
recovered for the Panthers at the GSU 13-yard line to
end the threat.
Carroll, the senior linebacker, led the Panthers
with nine tackles, including a sack, plus a forced
fumble and a pass breakup.
Gregg converted three fourth-down plays with
short runs, giving him five fourth-down conversions
in the last two games.
Georgia State started its game-clinching drive
with nine minutes to play after taking over at its own
10-yard line. The 13-play, 90-yard drive was all on
the ground and ate up 7:20 on the clock. Gregg and
Grainger got the Panthers out to midfield, and then
Williams finished the drive with an 11-yard run to
the Charlotte 41, a 31-yard gain to the 13 and then a
13-yard touchdown run.
With Georgia State trailing 7-0 late in the second
quarter, Grainger directed his first touchdown drive
for the Panthers. After a punt, GSU took over at its
own 32, and on the first play, Grainger hooked up
with Ja’Cyais Credle for a 33-yard completion down
the right sideline. On the next play, he found Jamari
Thrash down the left side for a 35-yard touchdown,
tying the score at 7-all with four minutes left in the
first half.
Charlotte’s first score was set up by a GSU
fumble. Destin Coates broke through the line and
raced 64 yards, but he was brought down at the
10-yard line and Charlotte knocked the ball out, and
Shedrick Ursery recovered for the 49ers. That led to
Chris Reynolds 36-yard touchdown pass to Elijah
Spencer 7:41 left in the second quarter.

AUBURN 34, GEORGIA STATE 24
Game 4: Sept. 25, 2021 • 4 p.m. ET (SECN)
Jordan-Hare Stadium • Auburn, Ala.
Georgia State battled No. 23 Auburn for
59 minutes but the Tigers scored the go-ahead
touchdown on a fourth-down play with 45 seconds
left and went on to win 34-24 at Jordan-Hare
Stadium.
Georgia State took the lead early in the second
quarter and still led 24-19 when Auburn took over
at its own 2-yard line with 3:23 to play. The Tigers
(3-1) were able to move down the field but faced
4th-and-9 at the GSU 10 when quarterback T.J.
Finley scrambled and then found Shedrick Jackson
in the end zone for the go-ahead score. That was the
only offensive touchdown that Auburn managed
against the GSU defense.
“I think our football team played one
unbelievable contest,” head coach Shawn Elliott said.
“They played as hard as they could. They fought, dug,
clawed, and it’s amazing that it came down to one
fourth-down play.
“I couldn’t be more of proud of them,” Elliott
continued. “The wins, for me, are about seeing their
faces, so tonight it was disappointing to walk in there
and see a team that had given everything they had but
came up on the short end. Sports can rip you apart.
That was a tough one to lose, but we’ll bounce back.
We’ve had a tough non-conference schedule, and
we’ve got to gain confidence from coming down here
and playing so hard and playing so well, but it’s hard
to lose.”
Tucker Gregg rushed for a career-high 150 yards,
including a 50-yard touchdown run, and quarterback
Darren Grainger passed for 117 yards and two
touchdowns. Linebacker Jordan Veneziale led the
GEORGIASTATESPORTS .COM
outstanding performance by the GSU defense with
seven tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery.
“Our entire defense played one helluva game,”
Elliott said. “Time and time and time again, stop after
stop. They controlled the line of scrimmage and they
controlled the passing game. It was fun to watch.
“That’s two weeks in a row, and if they continue
to play like that, we’ve got one heckuva chance.”
The Panthers got on the scoreboard first as
Gregg’s career-long 57-yard run set up Noel Ruiz’s
32-yard field goal midway through the first quarter,
the 11th straight make for the senior.
Auburn managed a pair of field goals before
Georgia State took its first lead early in the second
quarter. Grainger directed a 16-play, 75-yard drive,
capped by a 12-yard touchdown pass to Jamari
Thrash, putting the Panthers up 10-6 with 12:45 left
in the second quarter.
After an Auburn field goal cut the GSU lead to
10-9, the Panthers embarked on another 75-yard
scoring drive, this time needing only five plays.
After Williams started the drive with an 18-yard run,
Grainger hit tight end Roger Carter for a 24-yard
completion down the left sideline and rushed 11
yards for a first down at the Auburn 7. On the next
play, Grainger found Carter in the end zone for the
7-yard scoring pass and the 11th career touchdown
catch for Carter, who surpassed Keith Rucker for the
most ever by a GSU tight end. That put the Panthers
up 17-9 with seven minutes left in the half.
The Georgia State defense again held Auburn to
a field goal, and after a penalty on the kickoff return,
the Panthers took over at their 40. After one first
down put the ball at the 50, Gregg took the handoff
and broke through the middle, outracing the defense
for a 50-yard touchdown run, giving Georgia State a
24-12 half-time lead.
The 50-yard run gave Gregg 142 for the first half,
the most rushing yards that Auburn has allowed to
any running back in the first half since LSU’s Leonard
Fournette gained 169 in 2015, and the most in a first
half by a visiting back at Jordan-Hare since 2002.

Game 5: Oct. 2, 2021 • 2 p.m. (ESPN+)
Center Parc Stadium • Atlanta, Ga.
Georgia State fell to Appalachian State 45-16 in
the Sun Belt Conference opener for both teams.
The Panthers (1-4, 0-1 Sun Belt) trailed 14-9
midway through the third quarter when App State
(4-1, 1-0) connected on a 79-yard touchdown pass.
Georgia State was still within striking distance, down
24-9, late in the third, but the Mountaineers scored
three straight touchdowns to pull away.
“It snowballed on us there in the second half,
and it’s a very disappointing feeling,” GSU head
coach Shawn Elliott said. “We’ve got to do a lot of
soul-searching. We’ve got to figure some things out
because it certainly didn’t end the way we wanted.”
One bright spot for the Panthers was placekicker
Noel Ruiz, who booted field goals of 23, 32, and 22
yards. The super senior from Wilson, N.C., has now
made a school-record 14-straight field goals.
“You’ve probably heard me say that you don’t win
games by kicking field goals, but we were playing so
well defensively and keeping it close, that I thought,
Let’s take the field goal and get those points,” Elliott
explained.
“Noel is a great kicker, but we’ve got to punch
those things in. You can’t leave the ball on the 10, the
15, the 5-yard line. It’s very important that you score
touchdowns in the red zone.”
GSU started slowly on offense as quarterback
Darren Grainger threw an interception on the first
drive, setting up App State’s first touchdown, a
23-yard scoring run by Sun Belt rushing leader Nate
Noel.
Cornelious Brown IV replaced Grainger on the
third series and led the Panthers down the field for
the three field goals. Brown finished 16-31 for 171
yards but threw two interceptions. Grainger finished
the game with a late 66-yard touchdown pass to
redshirt freshman Tailique Williams.
“We went into the game thinking we were going
to play both quarterbacks,” Elliott said. “We knew we
had to get our throwing game going. We felt like we
would have to throw it more in this contest to move
the football.”
Running back Jamyest Williams rushed for 41
yards on eight carries, along with a 19-yard reception.
Marcus Carroll rushed nine times for 46 yards in the
fourth quarter. Sam Pinckney and Cornelius McCoy
led the receivers with four catches each.
“I really thought we played defensively until late
in the third quarter,” Elliott said. “I was proud of our
defense. And I’m still proud of our defense, but I’m
not proud of how we finished the game defensively,
offensively or anything else. But the defense was
giving us opportunities to get the ball back and score,
and ultimately we could not do that.”

the inaugural season of 2010. Georgia State’s 34-point
margin of victory also ties a program record achieved
four other times.
“We passed the test and played all four quarters,”
head coach Shawn Elliott said. “I told them at
halftime that we had a test in the second half to see if
we could keep the momentum and the concentration,
and we did exactly that. These guys did a great job.
Anytime you come on the road and get a conference
win, it’s a good thing.”
Grainger passed for 230 yards and rushed for 84
more as the Panthers piled up 572 yards of offense,
including 326 yards on the ground. The junior signal
caller tied the GSU record by accounting for five
touchdowns.
Tight end Aubry Payne and wide receiver
Ja’Cyais Credle caught two touchdowns apiece, while
Jamyest Williams (67 yards on 12 carries), Tucker
Gregg (83 yards on 15 carries) and Cornelious Brown
IV added rushing scores.
Credle, the sophomore transfer, had spectacular
touchdown catches of 31 and 38 yards and finished
with seven catches for 130 yards, both career highs.
Payne also registered his high marks with six
receptions for 58 yards, including scoring plays of 10
and nine yards.
Georgia State jumped in front by scoring 28
points in the first half. Williams started the scoring
with a 1-yard scoring run, capping a 10-play, 75-yard
drive to tie the game at 7-all with 6:35 play left in the
first quarter.
Grainger punctuated the next two long scoring
marches with touchdown passes, hitting tight end
Aubry Payne from 10 yards and then connecting with
Ja’Cyais Credle for 31-yards scoring strike to give
GSU a 21-7 lead with four minutes left in the half.
The GSU defense got the ball back two plays later
as safety Jalen Tate forced a fumble that defensive
end Javon Denis recovered at the ULM 34-yard line.
Gregg found the end zone from two yards out for a
28-7 advantage going into the half.
The Panthers collected 19 first downs and piled
up 208 yards on the ground in the first half.
Georgia State took the opening kickoff of the
second half and drove 75 yards on eight plays,
finishing the drive with Payne’s second touchdown
catch.
After ULM (2-3, 1-2 Sun Belt) scored to pull
within 35-21, the Panthers answered with three
straight touchdowns.
“Offensively, we were in sync all night,” Elliott
said. “Our backs ran hard, the offensive line and tight
ends and Grainger did a great job.”
Sophomore safety Antavious Lane grabbed his
fifth career interception. Linebacker Blake Carroll led
the defense with eight tackles and one tackle for loss,
and defensive end Jeffery Clark had two tackles for
loss, including one sack.

Quarterback Darren Grainger passed for 200
yards and two touchdowns and rushed for a careerhigh 91 yards to lead Georgia State to its second
straight win, 28-16 over Texas State on Homecoming.
Behind Grainger, Tucker Gregg (115 yards)
and Jamyest Williams (career-high 92 yards and
two touchdowns), the Panthers (3-4, 2-1 Sun Belt)
piled up 298 yards on the ground, while the Georgia
State defense held the Bobcats (2-5, 1-2) to just one
touchdown and three field goals.
“Great Homecoming win! It was just a gutsy
performance,” head coach Shawn Elliott said. “I’m
just really proud of our football team.
“It certainly was a 60-minute game. I kept feeling
like we were going to pull away, but their quarterback
is a crafty player and kept scrambling and making
plays. But I’m pleased with our effort, and certainly
pleased with the win to keep us right there, neck-andneck, at the top of the league,” continued Elliott.
Gregg, the senior from Chatsworth, Ga., topped
the 1,000-yard milestone for his career on a firstquarter run. He now has 1,072 career yards.
But his biggest play was a 14-yard run in the
third quarter. With the Panthers holding a 14-13
lead but facing 4th-and-1 at the GSU 42, Gregg took
the handoff and appeared to be stopped at the line
of scrimmage, but he bounced outside and raced 14
yards around the right end for the first down and his
sixth fourth-down conversion of the season.
Three plays later, Williams ran for a 28-yard
touchdown, his second of the day, to give Georgia
State a 21-13 lead with eight minutes in the third
quarter.
After Texas State managed its third field goal of
the day to pull within 21-16, Georgia State answered
with another touchdown, driving 75 yards on 11
plays, capped by Grainger’s 27-yard touchdown pass
to tight end Aubry Payne on the first play of the
fourth quarter. Payne’s third scoring pass in the last
two games put the Panthers up 28-16.
The GSU defense made the lead hold up by
forcing two huge turnovers in the fourth quarter.
After the Bobcats drove to the GSU 34, cornerback
Jaylon Jones intercepted Brady McBride’s pass near
the goal line.
The Panthers drove down the field and eight
up nearly seven minutes on the clock but Noel Ruiz
missed a 40-yard field goal attempt with 2:46 left,
snapping his streak of 14 consecutive makes.
Texas State managed to move down the field late
in the game, but defensive end Shamar McCollum
forced a fumble that noseguard Dontae Wilson
recovered at the 10-yard line to seal the win.

2021REVIEW
Trailing 6-0 in the first quarter, the Panthers
got on the board with a 99-yard touchdown drive,
the second 99-yard drive in program history.
Grainger completed four straight passes to give the
Panthers a first down at the Texas State 18, and then
Jamyest Williams burst through the middle for the
touchdown to put GSU ahead 7-6 with 54 seconds
left in the first quarter.
On Georgia State’s next possession, Grainger
connected with Jamari Thrash for a 35-yard
touchdown pass over the middle and a 14-6 lead
early in the second quarter. But Texas State managed
its only touchdown of the game, and the Panthers led
14-13 at the half.
In addition to Gregg’s milestone, tight end
Roger Carter topped the 1,000-yard mark for career
receiving yards.

Game 8: Oct. 30, 2021 • 6 p.m. (ESPN+)
Paulson Stadium • Statesboro, Ga.
Jamyest Williams scored the game-winning
touchdown on a 23-yard run with 26 seconds left
to lift Georgia State to a 21-14 win over Georgia
Southern at Paulson Stadium.
After its third straight win, Georgia State (4-4,
3-1) remains tied for first place in the Sun Belt East
Division. The Panthers defeated their in-state rival
for the second consecutive year to improve to 5-3 in
the series.
“I love ball games like this,” head coach Shawn
Elliott said. “It brings out what your team’s made of.
What a great win. Anytime you come to Statesboro,
Ga., and walk out of here with a win, it’s a great thing.
I’m really proud of our football team.”
Georgia State took a 14-7 lead in the fourth
quarter on a pair of touchdown runs by Tucker
Gregg, but Georgia Southern (2-6, 1-4) managed to
tie the game with 1:39 left on Logan Wright’s 9-yard
run.
After the kickoff, Williams started the Panthers’
game-winning drive with a 12-yard out to the GSU
39. A series of scrambles by quarterback Darren
Grainger gave the Panthers a first down at the
Georgia Southern 23, and then Williams finished the
job with his touchdown.
“A minute and 39 seconds is a long time in this
day and age, and our offense believed we were going
to go down and score,” Elliott said.
The Georgia State defense had to make one last
stand as the Eagles moved all the way to the GSU 21
with two seconds left, but Jhi’Shawn Taylor sacked
quarterback Justin Tomlin to seal the win.
Williams, the senior from Athens, finished with
a career-high 97 yards rushing on just 12 carries. He
gained 81 of his yards on Georgia State’s two fourthquarter touchdown drives. Tucker Gregg added 87
yards and two touchdowns, and Grainger passed for
141 yards and rushed for 31.
Trailing 7-0 at the half, the Panthers finally got
on the board in the third quarter on a drive that was
set up by a turnover. After Georgia Southern drove
into Georgia State territory, super senior safety Chris
Moore intercepted Tomlin at the 1-yard line and
returned it to the GSU 31.
That started a 9-play, 69-yard touchdown drive.
After Grainger hit tight end Roger Carter with a
29-yard completion down the left sideline to the 2,
and Gregg capped the march with 1-yard touchdown
to tie the game at 7-all with eight minutes to play in
the third quarter.
Georgia State took its first lead early in the fourth
quarter with an 83-yard scoring drive. Williams
rushed for 50 yards on the drive and Grainger had
another big completion to Carter, this time a 30-yard
play down the Georgia Southern 23-yard line. Two
plays later, Gregg scored from three yards out for a
14-7 lead with 11 minutes left in the game.
The GSU defense came up with big plays
throughout the game. Moore’s interception was one
of two for the Panthers as Blake Carroll also grabbed
a pick in the first half. The Panthers kept Georgia
Southern out of the end zone with a goal line stand in
the first quarter as Javon Denis came up with a huge
stop of 4th-and-goal at the 1-yard line, and safety
Antavious Lane broke up a pass for a fourth-down
stop in third quarter.
“Our defense did a tremendous job all night
long,” Elliott said.

LOUISIANA 21, GEORGIA STATE 17
Game 9: Nov. 4, 2021 • 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN)
Cajun Field • Lafayette, La.
Georgia State fell 21-17 at No. 24 Louisiana as
the Ragin’ Cajuns took the lead with 2:32 to play in
an ESPN Thursday night game at Cajun Field.
The Panthers (4-5, 3-2 Sun Belt) took a 17-14
lead on Tucker Gregg’s 1-yard touchdown run with
5:25 to play, but Louisiana (8-1, 6-0) answered
with an 8-play, 71-yard drive, capped by Montrell
Johnson’s 13-yard scoring run.
Gregg finished with 99 yards on 23 carries.
Jamyest Williams gained 82 yards, and quarterback
Darren Grainger added 28 as the Panthers totaled
209 yards on the ground.
The late score overshadowed a strong
performance by the GSU defense, which shut out the
Ragin’ Cajuns in the first half, including two fourthdown stops in the red zone.
After Louisiana took the opening kickoff and
drove to a first down at the GSU 14-yard line, the
Panthers held and on fourth down, defensive end
Javon Denis pressured quarterback Levi Lewis into
an incompletion.
The Panthers took over at the 8 began moving
the ball on the ground. On 2 nd-and-9 at the 50,
Grainger hit tight end Roger Carter for 24 yards to
the 26. Four plays later, Noel Ruiz put Georgia State
on the scoreboard with a 39-yard field with five
minutes in the first quarter.
Louisiana drove deep into Georgia State territory
late in the first half. On 4th-and-2 at the GSU 6, the
Ragin’ Cajuns elected to go for it, and senior outside
linebacker Jacorey Crawford sacked Lewis to send
the Panthers into the locker room with a 3-0 lead.
100
That is the first scoreless half for the GSU defense
since the Panthers shut out Charlotte in 2017.
The defense came up with another big play in the
third quarter as Antavious Lane intercepted Lewis at
midfield.
Lane’s interception, the sixth of his career, gave
Georgia State it’s best starting field position of the day
at the GSU 48. After two runs by Williams moved the
Panthers to the 37, Grainger connected with Carter
over the middle for the touchdown and a 10-0 lead
with 8:46 to play in the third quarter.
Carter’s 12th career touchdown was also his 90th
career reception to tie Keith Rucker for the most by a
GSU tight end.
Louisiana’s first points came on Lewis’ 13-yard
touchdown pass to Pete LeBlanc, pulling within 10-7
with six minutes left in the third. On their next drive,
the Ragin’ Cajuns took the lead on Johnson’s 3-yard
touchdown with 13 minutes to play.
The Panthers took the ensuing kickoff and
drove 75 yards on 16 plays, all on the ground. Gregg
accounted for 48 of those yards, capped by his 1-yard
scoring run, along with two carries and 18 yards by
Williams and one 7-yards scramble by Grainger.
“A tough, hard fought game and a tough
loss,” head coach Shawn Elliott said. “Offensively,
defensively and special teams, we just couldn’t make
enough plays to pull out the win against a good
football team. We had every opportunity, we really
did.
“What a tough loss for our football team. They
prepared hard, and they fought hard, but it just didn’t
happen tonight. I’m extremely proud of our football
team.”

Game 10: Nov. 13, 2021 • 2 p.m. (ESPN+)
Brooks Stadium • Conway, S.C.
Georgia State earned its first ever win over a
nationally-ranked opponent by stopping a two-point
conversion attempt with 1:09 to play, preserving the
Panthers 42-40 win at No. 22/21 Coastal Carolina at
Brooks Stadium.
Facing its fourth ranked opponent of the season
Georgia State (5-5, 4-2 Sun Belt) snapped Coastal
Carolina’s (8-2, 4-2) 12-game home winning streak
and likely knocked the Chanticleers out of the polls
after 22 straight weeks.
“I can’t tell you how proud I am of this football
team,” head coach Shawn Elliott said. “We talked
about it all week ... it takes 60 minutes, and tonight
it took every second of those 60 minutes to get this
victory.”
Playing in his hometown before a large
contingent of family and friends, GSU quarterback
Darren Grainger, who attended Conway High
School, passed for 198 yards and two touchdowns,
and running backs Jamyest Williams (83 yards, 1 TD)
and Tucker Gregg (67 yards, 3 TD) combined for 150
yards rushing and four touchdowns.
“It feels good to be home, and it feels good to get
a win over a ranked opponent,” Grainger said.
Grainger hit Terrance Dixon with a 2-yard
touchdown pass on fourth down to give the
Panthers a 35-34 lead with five minutes left. On
Coastal Carolina’s ensuing possession, GSU outside
linebacker Jamil Muhammad sacked quarterback
Bryce Carpenter, causing a fumble that Jontrey
Hunter recovered at the Coastal 8-yard line.
Two plays later, Gregg punched in his third
touchdown of the day with a 4-yard run, and Georgia
State led 42-34 with 2:36 to play.
But Coastal Carolina drove 75 yards on eight
plays, capped by Carpenter’s 17-yard touchdown
pass to tight end Isaiah Likely with 1:07 left. On the
two-point conversion, Carpenter threw incomplete
in the corner of the end zone, but pass interference
was called. This time, the Chanticleers ran the ball up
the middle, and the Georgia State defense made the
stop as Thomas Gore wrapped up Shemari Jones.
Georgia State receiver Ja’Cyais Credle recovered
the ensuing onside kick, and the Panthers ran out the
clock for the huge win.
Trailing 7-0 in the first quarter, the Panthers
drove 75 yards on 11 plays to tie the game on Gregg’s
2-yard run. The key play on the drive was Grainger’s
22-yard completion down to the CCU 30 to tight end
Roger Carter, who finished with three catches for 70
yards.
With that first catch, Carter became Georgia
State’s career leader in receptions and receiving yards
by a tight end. The Columbia, S.C., native now has
(90+ receptions for 1137+ yards), passing Keith

Rucker (90-1148).
After Coastal regained the lead at 14-7, Grainger
directed another 75-yard drive. After Grainger found
tight end Aubry Payne for a 3-yard scoring pass to
tie the game at 14-all with a minute left in the first
quarter.
Three plays later, Georgia State cornerback
Quavian White intercepted Carpenter at midfield
and returned it 36 yards to the 1, and Gregg took it
in from there, giving the Panthers their first lead at
21-14 on the first play of the second quarter.
White’s interception is the seventh career pick
for the Greer, S.C., native, tying Chandon Sullivan’s
school record.
After Coastal Carolina managed a safety, the
Panthers added to their lead with another 75-yard
drive, this one capped by Williams’ 36-yard
touchdown run for a 28-16 lead with five minutes in
the half.
Coastal scored a touchdown just before the
half, and then struck first in the third quarter with a
touchdown and then a field goal to pull within 28-26
with five minutes in the quarter. The Chanticleers
moved ahead 34-28 on Jones’ third rushing
touchdown with nine minutes left.
As they had all day, the Panthers drove the
length of the field as Grainger directed an 11-play,
75-yard drive. Carter again figured prominently
with a 39-yard catch down to the CCU 16. After
Grainger scrambled 8-yards for a first down at the
6, the Panthers needed all four downs before Dixon’s
touchdown catch on 4th-and-goal at the 2.
“What a gutsy performance by Darren, playing
right here in his backyard,” Elliott said. “He ran the
ball effectively, he delivered the ball nicely in the
throw game, and he made good decisions. I’m very
proud of what he accomplished tonight. He’s got a
big smile on his face, an that’s something he’ll never
forget.”

Georgia State became bowl eligible for the third
straight year after a 28-20 victory over Arkansas
State, fueled by a dominating performance by the
Panthers’ defense.
The GSU defense collected 15 tackles for loss
with six sacks, and held the Red Wolves to just 270
total yards, including a school-record minus-3
rushing yards, as the Panthers won for the fifth time
in their last six games to improve to 6-5 overall and
5-3 in the Sun Belt Conference.
“Congratulations to our football team on
becoming bowl eligible for the third straight year,
something that’s never been done before at Georgia
State,” said head coach Shawn Elliott, who has guided
the Panthers to bowl berths in four of his five seasons.
“I’m very proud of our team. We made the plays
to get it done,” Elliott continued. “This game is tough,
and today might have been one of the tougher ones.
We weren’t crisp, to the very end. I tell them all the
time, You’ve got to play 60 minutes the hardest and
the longest, and we love using every second of that
60-minute ballgame. But I’m thrilled to death. We’re
going bowling, and that feels really good.”
On offense, Jamyest Williams rushed for a
career-high 125 yards and two touchdowns on just
16 carries and Tucker Gregg added 99 yards and
one score as the Panthers piled up 282 yards on the
ground. Quarterback Darren Grainger passed for
152 yards and rushed for 46, including a 35-yard
touchdown run.
Jamari Thrash led the receiving corps with a
career-high 108 yards on four catches.
But the defense was the story of the day.
“We talked all week about 609 yards offense, 551
passing yards, eight touchdowns a year in a 59-52 loss
a year ago,” Elliott said, referencing last year’s game at
Arkansas State. “They came out and played fantastic
football. They were relentless all day. Offensively,
we put them in a lot of tough situations, and they
responded. I’m just proud of them.”
Defensive lineman Thomas Gore led the way
with seven tackles, including two sacks and 2.5
tackles for loss. Outside linebacker Jontrey Hunter
made eight tackles, including a school record-tying
four tackles for loss, along with a pass breakup.
Noseguard Dontae Wilson had two tackles for
loss, including one sack to move into second place in
GSU history with 11.0 career sacks, trailing teammate
teammate Hardrick Willis (12.5).
On the back end, cornerback Bryquice Brown
stopped a scoring drive with an interception at the
1-yard line and added two pass breakups. Safety
Antavious Lane also grabbed an interception, along
with a forced fumble, a tackle for loss and two pass
breakups. Cornerback Jaylon Jones had six tackles
and three pass breakups.
Lane’s interception was his third of the season
and the seventh of his career to tie the Georgia State
career record, equaling teammate Quavian White
and current Green Bay Packer Chandon Sullivan.
After Grainger’s 35-yard touchdown run gave
Georgia State a 28-13 lead with six minutes left, the
Panthers stopped Arkansas State on four downs deep
in the Red Wolves territory. GSU took over at the
ASU 18, looking to put the game away, but Arkansas
State returned a fumble 80 yards for a touchdown to
pull within 28-20 with 4:22 to play.
But Gregg converted two third downs to allow
Georgia State to run out the clock.

Game 12: Nov. 27, 2021 • 2 p.m. (ESPN+)
Center Parc Stadium • Atlanta, Ga.
Behind another dominating performance by the
Georgia State defense, the Panthers rolled over Troy
37-10 at Center Parc Stadium to win for the sixth
time in their last seven games.
With the win, Georgia State (7-5, 6-2) set a
program record for conference victories and tied the
school record for overall wins. The Panthers finished
in a tie for second place in the Sun Belt Conference
East Division and will learn their destination for their
third straight bowl game on Sunday, Dec. 5.
“It was a very satisfying win,” head coach Shawn
Elliott said. “Our team battled back all year, so to
finish it like this feels great. I’m proud of our team,

this team together, and we kept getting better and
better. We’re playing our best ball at the end of our
season, and it’s an awesome feeling.”
Sophomore outside linebacker Jamil Muhammad
had two sacks and returned a fumble 72 yards for a
touchdown to lead the GSU defense, which held Troy
(5-7, 3-5) without a touchdown until the Trojans
managed a late score against the Panthers’ reserves.
Jamyest Williams led the offensive attack with
his second straight 100-yard game, gaining 108 yards
on 15 carries with a career-long 50-yard touchdown
run. He topped the 1,000-yard mark for his career,
raising his career total to 1,063 yards.
Tucker Gregg added 83 yards on 17 carries
as the Panthers totaled 247 yards on the ground.
Quarterback Darren Grainger passed for 140 yards,
including touchdown passes to Aubry Payne and
Sam Pinckney, while rushing for 47 yards.
Georgia State jumped out to a 17-0 lead in the
first half on Grainger’s touchdown passes to Payne
and Pinckney and Noel Ruiz’s 43-yard field goal
before Troy got on the scoreboard on a field goal with
34 seconds left in the second quarter.
The Panthers took the opening kickoff of the
second half and drove down the field before settling
for another Ruiz field goal, this one from 45 yards.
Troy moved into scoring position with a first
down at the GSU 27, but on second down, Blake
Carroll sacked Trojan quarterback Gunnar Watson
and forced a fumble that Muhammad scooped up and
returned 72 yards for the score, giving the Panthers a
27-3 lead midway through the third quarter.
Muhammad had two more sacks on Troy’s next
possession, forcing a 45-yard field goal attempt that
bounced off the uprights.
Then Ruiz’s 50-yard field goal, the longest of his
Georgia State career, extended the lead to 30-3.
Williams 50-yard touchdown run early in the
fourth quarter made it 37-3 before the Panthers
emptied the bench.
The GSU defense forced four turnovers,
including interceptions by Antavious Lane and
Bryquice Brown. Lane’s pick was his fourth of the
GEORGIASTATESPORTS .COM
season and the eighth career interception for the
GSU sophomore, giving him sole possession of the
Georgia State career record.
Carroll had a fumble recovery, a forced fumble
and a sack as the Panthers held Troy to just 57 yards
rushing.

Game 13: Dec. 25, 2021 • 2:30 p.m. (ESPN)
TaxAct Camellia Bowl
Cramton Bowl, Montgomery, Ala.
The slogan for the TaxAct Camellia Bowl is
“History Made Here,” and the Georgia State Panthers
did their part with a dominating 51-20 victory over
Ball State on Christmas Day at the Cramton Bowl.
The Panthers made history with their second-straight
bowl win and their school-record eighth victory of
the season.
“Christmas is the Happiest Day of the Year, and it
certainly was for us today,” head coach Shawn Elliott
said after leading his Panthers to their third bowl win
in his fifth season at the helm.
“I think we finished Christmas Day with one
of the best presents we could have ever asked for
and that’s a commanding, dominating win,” Elliott
continued.
Quarterback Darren Grainger was named the
Bart Starr Most Valuable Player after accounting for
four touchdowns. The junior from Conway, S.C.,
completed 15-of-19 passes for 203 yards and three
touchdowns while rushing for a career-high 122
yards, including a 34-yard touchdown run.
Sixth-year senior tight end Aubry Payne had
career high eighth receptions for 109 yards and two
touchdowns, and the Georgia State defense also
scored twice—another first in program history—on
Javon Denis’ 37-yard fumble return and Antavious
Lane’s 55-yard interception return.
Leading 20-13 at the half, Georgia State blew the
game open with 31 straight points, including 28 in
the third quarter, for their fourth straight win and
seventh in the last eight games. The Panthers also
won back-to-back bowl games for the first time.
“We’d never won eight games, never won backto-back bowl games. I say this a lot ... anytime you do
something for the first time, do you know what that
feels like?” Elliott said. “Every single player and coach
in that locker room just did something that had not
been done before at Georgia State.”
Trailing 7-0 early, Georgia State got on the board
with a 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive, capped by
Grainger’s 18-yard TD pass to Payne to tie the game
at 7-all with five minutes left in the first quarter.
Three plays later, the GSU defense came up with
its first huge play of the day as Jamil Muhammad
forced Ball State quarterback Drew Plitt to fumble,
and Denis scooped up the loose ball and raced
37-yards for the end zone to give the Panthers a 17-14

FIRSTBOWLGAME
2015 AutoNation Cure Bowl
San Jose State 27, Georgia State 16
Dec. 19, 2015 • Orlando, Fla.
The first bowl game in Georgia State history was a trip to the
inaugural AutoNation Cure Bowl in Orlando, Fla., as the program
earned a bowl berth in just its sixth year of existence and second at
the FBS level.
To reach their first post-season game, the Panthers had to recover
from a 2-6 start and win their final four games. The winning streak
began with a convincing 41-19 victory at Texas State and continued
with home wins over South Alabama and Troy. The underdog
Panthers then capped the regular season with a dominating 34-7
victory at rival Georgia Southern for their bowl-clinching sixth
victory.
Against San Jose State,
Georgia State’s late rally fell
short as the Panthers lost 27-16.
Sun Belt Player of the Year
Nick Arbuckle was held to just
14-of-29 passing for 208 yards
and two touchdowns but still
finished the season with a Sun
Belt Conference single-season
record of 4,368 yards.
With Georgia State trailing
13-7 early in the fourth quarter,
Wil Lutz uncorked a 70-yard
punt that rolled inside the SJSU
NICK
5, and the Panther defense
forced a three-and-out. On the
Spartans punt from the end zone,
ARBUCKLE

a poor snap gave GSU a safety, pulling the Panthers within 13-9 with
12:44 left.
After the free kick and a 24-yard return by Donovan Harden,
the Panthers took over at the SJSU 36. Arbuckle hit freshman tight
end Ari Werts for a first down at the 20, and two plays later Todd
Boyd caught a short pass and raced 19 yards for the score. That gave
Georgia State its first lead at 16-13 with 10:46 left.
But San Jose State regained the lead with a quick touchdown on
a 42-yard touchdown run by quarterback Kenny Potter, moving the
Spartans back in front, 20-16, with nine minutes to go.
Georgia State moved to midfield but failed to convert a
3rd-and-one with eight minutes left. The Panthers went for it on
fourth down, and freshman receiver Penny Hart got behind the
defense, but Arbuckle’s pass was just out of his reach.
The Spartans took over and held the ball for more than five
minutes before scoring the clinching touchdown for the final margin.
FIRSTBOWLWIN
2017 AutoNation Cure Bowl
Georgia State 27, Western Kentucky 17
Dec. 16, 2017 • Orlando, Fla.
Led by Most Valuable Player Conner Manning and a recordsetting effort by the defense, Georgia State earned the first bowl
victory in school history with a 27-17 win over Western Kentucky in
the AutoNation Cure Bowl at Camping World Stadium.
The win gave the Panthers their school-record seventh victory
of the season under first-year head coach Shawn Elliott and secured
their first winning season as an FBS program.
“We’re just a bunch of misfit players and misfit coaches who are
blue collar, work hard and love one other and look at us,” Elliott said.
“First bowl win, most wins in school history - I’m damn proud to be
a Georgia State Panther, I know that!

BOWLGAMES
2019 NOVA Home Loans
Arizona Bowl
Wyoming 38, Georgia State 17
Dec. 31, 2019 • Tucson, Ariz.
Manning, the senior signal-caller, completed 20 of 28 passes for
276 yards and one touchdown while directing a GSU offense that
also rushed for 143 yards. Georgia State accomplished that while
essentially playing without top weapon Penny Hart, who was battling
an ankle injury and was limited to a handful of snaps.
“Coming into this season, my only goal was to lead this team to a
bowl victory,” Manning said as he accepted the MVP award.
The Georgia State defense limited Western Kentucky’s highpowered offense to 349 yards. With six sacks, including two by senior
Mackendy Cheridor, the Panthers set a school record by holding
WKU to a net of minus-two yards rushing.
Leading 13-10, the Panthers used a flea flicker to take a 10-point
lead in the third quarter. After two flips, Manning got the ball back
and found freshman tight end Roger Carter all alone down the left
sideline for a 42-yard touchdown and a 20-10 advantage with 5:55 left
in the third quarter. The score was set up by Hart’s lone catch of the
game, a spectacular 27-yard grab at the WKU 42-yard line.
In the fourth quarter, the Panthers effectively sealed the game
with a 16-play, 74-yard drive that lasted nine minutes. The drive
started after Jerome Smith’s interception, and Kyler Neal tallied the
clinching score on a 1-yard run to put GSU ahead 27-10 with 5:50 to
play.
Georgia State scored on its opening possession on Brandon
Wright’s 42-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead midway through the first
quarter.
Then the teams traded quick touchdowns on a total of just five
plays. First, WKU needed just two plays to score, including White’s
54-yard touchdown pass to Deon Yelder.
But the Panthers’ answer was almost as quick. Devin Gentry
rushed for 10 yards, and then Manning found Tamir Jones down the
left sideline for 49 yards to the WKU 26. On the next play, Demarcus
Kirk broke through the middle of the line and rambled 26 yards for
the score to regain the lead at 10-7 with 6:19 left in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the teams exchanged field goals as Wright’s
second three-pointer, this one from 37 yards, gave GSU a 13-10 lead
it would take into the locker room.
Junior linebacker Chase Middleton recovered a fumble and
returned it 19 yards and also had a sack and an interception.
Mackendy Cheridor forced a fumble along with his two sacks.
Redshirt freshman Jonathan Ifedi had career highs of six catches
for 56 yards, while Carter had four catches for 85 yards. Glenn Smith
rushed for 73 yards on 23 carries.
Playing in its third bowl game in the last five years, Georgia State
fell 38-17 to Wyoming in the NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl on
New Year’s Eve afternoon at Arizona Stadium.
In his final game in a Georgia State uniform, senior quarterback
Dan Ellington went 13-for-26 for 156 yards and one touchdown
while rushing 14 times for 70 yards and another score.
Ellington led the Panthers down the field for a touchdown on
their opening possession with a 6-play, 75-yard drive. He completed
a 23-yard pass to Devin Gentry and Tra Barnett had a 7-yard run,
but Ellington picked up the rest of the yardage on the ground, despite
playing with a torn ACL in his right knee. He had a 29-yard gain
down to the 20-yard line and scored on a 4-yard run, his first rushing
touchdown since the injury, to give the Panthers a 7-0 lead just two
minutes into the game.
Wyoming took a 17-7 lead with two touchdowns in the final
two minutes of the first quarter, both set up by Panther miscues in
their own territory, first a failed fourth-down attempt and then an
interception. The Cowboys added a 51-yard touchdown pass in late
in the first half to take a 24-10 lead into the locker room.
Senior Brandon Wright kicked a 25-yard field goal in the second
quarter for the 32nd field goal of his career to break Wil Lutz’s
Georgia State career record. Those three points also gave Wright the
GSU season scoring record with 84 points.
Barnett, Georgia State’s all-time leading, finished with 15 carries
for 64 yards.
Georgia State’s receiving corps was led by Cornelius McCoy, who
had five catches for 78 yards, including a 44-yard touchdown.
Wyoming was led by freshman quarterback Levi Williams who
went 11-for-26 for 234 yards and a touchdown. On the ground
Xazavian Valladay rushed 26 times for 204 yards and a touchdown
and was the game’s Offensive MVP.
The difference in the game might have been on third down where
the Panthers managed to go just 3-of-13, while Wyoming was 11-of17. The Cowboys twice stopped Georgia State on fourth down in the
red zone.
Georgia State saw 19 seniors play in their final game with many
having played in two bowl games. Four seniors (Khai Anderson,
Hunter Atkinson, Ed Curney and Brandon Wright) were part of all
three GSU bowl teams.

2020 LendingTree Bowl
Georgia State 39,
Western Kentucky 21
Dec. 26, 2020 • Mobile, Ala.
Georgia State used a balanced offensive attack and a strong defensive
effort to top Western Kentucky 39-21 in the LendingTree Bowl at LaddPeebles Stadium.
Georgia State completed back-to-back winning seasons for the first
time in the 11-year history of the program while defeating WKU in a
bowl game for the second time, following a win over the Hilltoppers in
the 2017 AutoNation Cure Bowl for the program’s first bowl victory.
“What a great win! What an awesome evening it turned out to be,
finishing the 2020 season here at the LendingTree Bowl and getting a
great win over Western Kentucky,” head coach Shawn Elliott said. “It’s
awesome to watch our players and coaches fight and persevere through
all the adversity this year.”
Quarterback Cornelious Brown IV, the MVP of the game, went
16-for-30 for 232 yards and three touchdowns and rushed 10 times for
40 yards, helping the Panthers pile up 484 yards of offense with 227 yards
rushing and 257 yards passing.
Running back Destin Coates was named the Offensive Player of the
Game with 117 yards rushing--his fifth 100-yard game of the season--and
one touchdown. Outside linebacker Jontrey Hunter earned Defensive
Player of the Game honors, while placekicker Noel Ruiz was named the
Special Teams Player of the Game.
Hunter recorded six tackles, an interception and a fumble recovery,
while Ruiz nailed a pair of field goals for the Panthers, who were appearing
in their fourth bowl game in the last six years.
The Georgia State defense held the Hilltoppers to 284 yards of
offense--one of the top 10 performances in school history--forced three
turnovers and added three sacks to its season-record total.
“Our defense was outstanding,” Elliott said. “We felt like we had to
keep [Pigrome] in the pocket. Our guys up front did a masterful job.”
Cornelius McCoy led the GSU receiving corps with five catches for
128
88 yards and a touchdown, while Sam Pinckney added three catches for
62 yards and a TD.
Just minutes into the game after driving the Panthers down the field
64 yards, Brown was intercepted in the end zone, which the Hilltoppers
were able to turn into a 14-play, 80-yard drive, capped by quarterback
Tyrrell Pigrome’s 2-yard scoring run.
Georgia State responded by scoring 27-straight points, starting with
Coates’ 11-yard touchdown run to tie the game 7-7 just before the end of
the first quarter.
Early in the second quarter, Brown found Pinckney for a 26-yard
touchdown with 9:50 to play to give the Panthers a 14-7 lead.
On the following drive, Antavious Lane intercepted Pigrome, Lane’s
fourth interception of the season that tied the GSU season record. It was
also the first interception all season by Pigrome, ending a string of 278
attempts without a pick.
That led to Brown’s second TD pass, this one to Jamari Thrash, whose
diving 5-yard reception put the Panthers ahead 21-7 with 2:09 left in the
half.
Pigrome followed with a second straight interception by Hunter, and
that set up Brown’s 8-yard TD pass to McCoy to send the Panthers into
the locker room with a 27-7 lead.
Western Kentucky scored on the opening drive of the second half on
a two-yard run by Gaej Walker to cut Georgia State’s lead to 27-14. The
Hilltoppers then forced GSU to punt, but Hunter recovered the fumbled
punt at the WKU 32-yard line, and Ruiz kicked a 45-yard field goal for a
30-14 advantage.
WKU had one more chance to make it a one-score game with a first
down at the GSU 11 late in the third quarter, but after a 9-yard gain on
first down, the Panthers came up with three straight stops, including an
incomplete pass on fourth down.
Ruiz added a 29-yard field goal to increase Georgia State’s lead to
33-14 with 11:19 remaining in the game. That was Ruiz’s school-record
eighth-straight made field goal.
With the game in hand, freshman Mikele Colasurdo relieved Brown
and found Caddarrius Thompson on a 25-yard TD for a 39-14 lead on
Colasurdo’s first career completion.

The slogan for the TaxAct Camellia Bowl is “History Made Here,” and the
Georgia State Panthers did their part with a dominating 51-20 victory over Ball
State on Christmas Day at the Cramton Bowl. The Panthers made history with
their second-straight bowl win and their school-record eighth victory of the
season.
“Christmas is the Happiest Day of the Year, and it certainly was for us today,”
head coach Shawn Elliott said after leading his Panthers to their third bowl win in
his fifth season at the helm.
“I think we finished Christmas Day with one of the best presents we could
have ever asked for and that’s a commanding, dominating win,” Elliott continued.
Quarterback Darren Grainger was named the Bart Starr Most Valuable Player
after accounting for four touchdowns. The junior from Conway, S.C., completed
15-of-19 passes for 203 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for a careerhigh 122 yards, including a 34-yard touchdown run.

Sixth-year senior tight end Aubry Payne had career high eighth receptions
for 109 yards and two touchdowns, and the Georgia State defense also scored
twice—another first in program history—on Javon Denis’ 37-yard fumble return
and Antavious Lane’s 55-yard interception return.
Leading 20-13 at the half, Georgia State blew the game open with 31 straight
points, including 28 in the third quarter, for their fourth straight win and seventh
in the last eight games. The Panthers also won back-to-back bowl games for the
first time.
“We’d never won eight games, never won back-to-back bowl games. I say
this a lot ... anytime you do something for the first time, do you know what that
feels like?” Elliott said. “Every single player and coach in that locker room just did
something that had not been done before at Georgia State.”
Trailing 7-0 early, Georgia State got on the board with a 10-play, 75-yard
touchdown drive, capped by Grainger’s 18-yard TD pass to Payne to tie the game
at 7-all with five minutes left in the first quarter.
Three plays later, the GSU defense came up with its first huge play of the
day as Jamil Muhammad forced Ball State quarterback Drew Plitt to fumble, and
Denis scooped up the loose ball and raced 37-yards for the end zone to give the
Panthers a 17-14 lead.
Muhammad was credited with a sack on the play, his second of the day and
Georgia State’s school-record 36th of the season.
Super senior Noel Ruiz added two field goals to give the Panthers a 20-13 lead
at the half.
Georgia State opened the second half with another scoring drive, moving 75
yards on eight plays as Grainger hit Robert Lewis from 10-yards out for the score.
Lewis’ first career touchdown gave the Panthers a 27-13 advantage three minutes
into the third quarter.
Grainger then broke the game open with a 34-yard touchdown run and
then a 16-yard TD pass to Payne, putting the Panthers up 41-13 late in the third
quarter. Payne’s second touchdown catch of the game was the 13th of his career to
pass teammate Roger Carter for the GSU record for a tight end.
On the final play of the quarter, Lane grabbed his school-record fifth
interception of the season and returned it 55 yards for a touchdown and a
commanding 48-13 lead.
Ruiz, celebrating his birthday on Christmas Day, added a 45-yard field goal
in the third quarter for 51 points, Georgia State’s highest total in a bowl game.
Grainger’s 122-yard effort on the ground put him over the 1,000-yard mark
for his career, including his time at Furman.
