Georgia Tech football has added to its recruiting staff.
Alex Mathis confirmed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he will join the Yellow Jackets' staff. Mathis spent the past two seasons at Central Florida as the Knights' executive director of recruiting.
Rivals first reported the news and said that Mathis will fill an off-field role.
Mathis had been an assistant coach at Frederica Academy on Saint Simons Island and a teacher at Jane Macon Middle School before then. He also has coached at Brantley County High School in Nahunta and Glynn Academy in Brunswick before joining the UCF staff in December 2022.
A Ware County High School graduate, Mathis earned his undergraduate degree from the College of Coastal Georgia and a master’s degree from Georgia Southern.
The addition of Mathis fills a role vacated by Errin Joe, whom Rivals reported no longer is part of the program.
Joe had been with Tech since 2023 after spending the 2022 season as assistant director of player personnel at Alabama.
From 2018-21, Joe was a member of Tech’s football staff, first as a graduate assistant working with the Yellow Jackets’ offensive line. He held that role for three seasons before moving into recruiting as Tech’s associate director of player personnel in 2021.
As a player at Tech, Joe started 16 games over his final two seasons from 2014-15. He started the final seven games of the 2014 campaign at right tackle, helping anchor an offensive front that led the nation in rushing with a program-record 342.1 yards per game.
