Former Tuskegee Coach Moves Up

A record-setting quarterback in his playing days and currently a dynamic offensive coach, Dameyune Craig will oversee the wide receiver corps at Texas A&M, first-year Aggie head coach Jimbo Fisher announced.
 
Craig, who was the lone 3,000-yard passer in Auburn University history until 2018, comes to Texas A&M from Florida State University where he served as an offensive analyst on Fisher’s 2017 staff. The veteran assistant coach previously served Power 5 conference stints at LSU, Auburn and Florida State since 2010.
 
He comes to Texas A&M with a history of developing both wide receivers and quarterbacks at the collegiate level, while also proving himself as an outstanding recruiter. In the football recruiter rankings compiled by 247sports, Craig was ranked No. 4 nationally in 2016 and No. 9 in 2014. He was the Recruiter of the Year in the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2012 by Scout.com.

The Prichard, Ala., native began his collegiate coaching career as an offensive graduate assistant at LSU in 2004 and worked as a special teams assistant with the Miami Dolphins in 2005. Craig returned to the college ranks in 2006 and helped Tuskegee to a two-year record of 22-2.

As the Golden Tigers’ quarterbacks coach he helped the program win a pair of SIAC titles and defeat Virginia Union in the Pioneer Bowl X to cap a 12-0 season in 2007 by winning the Black College National Championship. Craig began his coaching career at his high school alma mater, Blount, near Mobile, Ala., where he was an assistant coach in 2003.
