Georgia State University Athletics

3rd Season at GSU

Now in his third season on the Georgia State football staff, Craig Harmon coaches the tight ends and serves as the assistant offensive line coach.
 
Harmon came to Georgia State as tight ends coach in January 2010 after four years (2006-09) at the University of St. Francis, an NAIA program in Joliet, Ill., where he served as offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator. Before that, he spent two years as a graduate assistant at Northern Illinois, working with current GSU offensive coordinator John Bond. During Harmon's time at NIU, the Huskies shared the Mid-American Conference West Division title both years.
 
He also spent two seasons (2002-03) as a graduate assistant coach at Quincy (Ill.) University, coaching running backs and defensive backs.
 
Harmon played collegiately as a quarterback, beginning his career at Northern Illinois (1998-2000) before transferring to Quincy (2001-02). He earned his bachelor's degree in physical education and then his master's in education administration, both from Quincy.

The native of Godfrey, Ill., was a standout prep quarterback at Alton High School. He and his wife, the former Megan Anderson, have one son, Cooper.
