Former Georgia State defensive back Antreal Allen enters his third season on the GSU coaching staff after returning to his alma mater in 2022. Allen will coach the cornerbacks in 2024 on head coach Dell McGee's staff.

Allen returned to Atlanta in 2022 as the assistant secondary coach, working with safeties and then in 2023, he tutored the cornerbacks. 

He helped coach a defense that collected 13 interceptions in 2022 as part of a school-record 25 turnovers forced, which ranked No. 11 in the nation.

Allen was chosen for an NFL Bill Walsh Diversity Fellowship with the Atlanta Falcons in the summer of 2022.
  
Before returning to GSU in 2022, Allen spent the previous two seasons (2020-21) as the defensive backs and special teams coach at Shorter University in Rome, Ga.
 
He lettered four years for the Panthers, playing both cornerback and safety from 2014-17, including one season under Elliott. As a senior in 2017, Allen was the starting safety in Georgia State's first bowl victory for a Panther defense that set the GSU season record for fewest points allowed per game.

A native of Auburn, Ala., he earned his degree in computer information systems from Georgia State in 2018. He earned multiple academic honors during his time at GSU, including Dean's List, Athletic Director's Honor Roll, Sun Belt Conference Commissioner's List and Sun Belt Conference Honor Roll.

Following graduation, Allen began his coaching career with two seasons on Elliott's staff in a quality control (2018) and then graduate assistant role (2019) before moving to Shorter for the 2020 season.
