Georgia State vs. Old Dominion

SERIES VS. OLD DOMINION: Georgia State and Old Dominion are both relative newcomers to the sport of football as ODU started its program one year before the Panthers launched in 2010. Both schools were members of the Colonial Athletic Association in other sports at that time.

Georgia State faced Old Dominion in each of its first three seasons, but the Monarchs won all three contests, including a 53-27 win in the last meeting in 2012 at the Georgia Dome. The teams also met in 2010 at ODU and in 2011 at the Georgia Dome.

PICK ‘EM: Senior cornerback Quavian White and junior safety Antavious Lane rank No. 1-2 in Georgia State history in career interceptions. Only five active FBS players have more career interceptions than White with 11.

Lane is tied for 11th with nine picks. White also ranks second among active players with 41 passes defended (interceptions plus breakups).

EXPERIENCED O-LINE: The Georgia State returns offensive line features three senior starters, including sixth-year seniors Malik Sumter at center and Pat Bartlett at right guard.

Sumter (48 starts), Bartlett (49) and Travis Glover (43) and have combined for 140 career starts.

That trio has started every game since the start of the 2019 season (43 straight), helping the Panthers average 225 yards rushing per game over that stretch.

During his string of 43 straight starts, the versatile Glover has started at right tackle, left tackle and left guard.

HOME OF THE

STATE PANTHERS

14 CENTER PARC STADIUM
GEORGIA

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.

Georgia State opened its new home against Tennessee State before 24,333 fans on Aug. 31, 2017.

SHAWN ELLIOTT

2017 – PRESENT

In his 25 seasons as a Division I coach, SHAWN ELLIOTT has been part of 22 winnings 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 200507.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 back-toback 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 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 regularseason, 10 Panthers were named to the 2019 AllSun 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 AllAmerican 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 Indianapolis Colts, as did linebacker Chase Middleton. Hart is now with the Seattle Seahawks.

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 GSU’s first Academic All-American® as well as 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 11win 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

22 GEORGIASTATESPORTS.COM

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 schoolrecord 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.

Beginning in 1997, he worked two seasons as a defensive assistant (1997-98) and then two seasons as the tight ends coach (1999-00) before taking over the offensive line in 2001.

In nine seasons as the Mountaineers’ offensive line coach, Elliott’s players earned All-America distinction on 12 occasions, including four different linemen who received first-team AllAmerica accolades. He also coached All-American and future NFL tight end Daniel Wilcox in 2000. In 2003, offensive lineman Wayne Smith was the first pick in the Canadian Football League Draft. From 2005-07, Elliott coached threeconsecutive Southern Conference Jacobs Blocking Trophy recipients.

Elliott helped lead the Mountaineers to 10 NCAA playoff berths in 13 seasons with two trips to the national semifinals and three appearances in the quarterfinals

in addition to the three championships.

Elliott was one of three App State coaches to earn the NCAA’s Award of Valor for their efforts in rescuing two individuals from an automobile accident in 2000.

The two head coaches under whom Elliott spent the bulk of his time as an assistant coach, Spurrier at South Carolina and Jerry Moore at Appalachian State, are both enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame.

Elliott was the first player in Mountaineer annals to appear in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs four separate seasons. He was a fouryear letterwinner, helping the Mountaineers to two Southern Conference titles and a combined record of 36-16. He served as a co-captain of the 1995 Appalachian State squad that finished 12-1 while earning all-league distinction as a defensive end.

A native of Camden, S.C., Elliott earned his bachelor’s degree from Appalachian State in 1996. He is married to the former Summer Scruggs, also an App State grad and a standout tennis player for the Mountaineers, and the couple has two children, Maddyn and Max.

CHARLIE COBB ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

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.

Through 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.

GEORGIASTATESPORTS.COM52

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 Chick- Fil-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 (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 AllACC 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.

PANTHER BAND

The Georgia State Panther Band is in its 13th year of existence and serves as an integral part of campus life.  Referred to as “the Sound of Downtown,” the Panther Band performs a pre-game show at all home games, and halftime shows at games they attend.  In addition to football games, the band performs at university and community events, as well as high school marching band exhibitions.

The Georgia State University Panther Band has a distinguished history of performance.  Founded in 2010 along with the University’s football team, the Panther Band has quickly made a name for itself performing for live, televised, and motion picture audiences. Rated by its peers as one of the best college marching bands in the country, the Panther Band was ranked among the top-ten bands in the nation by the College Band Directors National Association in 2013 and the top-five among the Southern Division in 2012, 2016 and 2020. In 2014, the band entertained millions along the streets of New York and on television as it participated in the 88th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. In 2013, the Panther Band proudly marched through Washington, D.C. playing the music of James Brown during the inauguration of President Barack Obama. In 2019, the Panther Band performed for over 100 million viewers as part of the Super Bowl LIII Pepsi Halftime Show. In 2022, the Panther Band performed down the streets of

Pasadena, Calif., in the Tournament of Roses parade. The Panther Band has proven itself as a band that truly entertains.

The Panther Band is under the direction of Adam F. Dalton, Georgia State’s director of athletic bands, and T. Devin Reid, assistant director of bands. To learn more about the Panther Band visit pantherband.gsu.edu.

The Georgia State University Department of Athletics is committed and obligated to the principle of institutional control in operating its athletics program in a manner that is consistent with the letter and spirit of NCAA, Sun Belt Conference, and Georgia State University rules and regulations.

MISSION STATEMENT

The Georgia State University Athletics Compliance Office provides a comprehensive compliance and monitoring program that promotes knowledge of and adherence to NCAA, Sun Belt Conference and institutional rules and regulations among members of the Department of Athletics, Georgia State University personnel and members of the athletics community, thereby reducing infractions.

REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETICS INTERESTS

A “representative of Georgia State’s athletic interests,” or booster is anyone who:

• Has ever participated in or is currently a member of the Panther Athletic Club.

• Has made a donation to the athletics program;

• Has helped arrange for summer and/or vacation employment for student-athletes or provided benefits to enrolled student-athletes;

• Has assisted in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes;

• Has been involved, in any way, in the promotion of Georgia State’s athletic program.

RECRUITING

Only coaches and athletic department staff can be involved in the recruiting process. Athletics representatives are prohibited from contacting a prospective student-athlete or members of his/her family by telephone, email, text message, etc., or in person, for the purpose of encouraging participation

in athletics at Georgia State. Please contact the coaching staff if you know of a prospect that may have the interest and ability to participate in intercollegiate athletics. The coach can then take appropriate action.

PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE

A prospective student-athlete is a person who has started classes for the ninth (9th) grade. In addition, a student-athlete who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective student-athlete if the institution provides such an individual (or the individual’s relatives or friends) any financial assistance or other benefits that the institution does not provide to prospective students generally.

EXTRA BENEFITS

An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or a representative of the institution’s athletics interests to provide a studentathlete or his/her family a benefit not authorized by NCAA legislation. Extra benefits would include, but are not limited to:

• Cash or loans in any amount;

• Co-signing or arranging a loan;

• Gifts or free services (e.g., airline ticket, restaurant meals, clothing, etc.);

• Use of an automobile;

• Rent-free or reduced-cost housing;

• Money for, or a guarantee of, bail or bond;

• Employment of a student-athlete at a rate higher than the wages paid for similar work; and/or

• Payment to a student-athlete for work not performed.

NCAA COMPLIANCE 58 GEORGIASTATESPORTS.COM

DO’S

• Meal MUST be at your home, on-campus, or in a facility normally used for GSU Athletic Events

• It may be catered

• Can provide transportation to occasional meal ONLY if it occurs at your home

• Provide employment opportunities, provided the opportunities are open to the general public and payment is the going rate and only for work actually performed.

• Provide NIL opportunities, provided all applicable state, federal, and institutional laws are being followed.

• “Pay-for-Play” and “Pay-for-Performance” are NOT permitted.

• Contact or forward information to GSU appropriate coaching staff about a prospect that they believe would be a great addition to the program.

• Contribute/Donate money to the Panther Athletic Club to support GSU athletic programs.

• Attend high school games and functions that a prospect might be at, provided you have no contact with them.

• Continue to maintain contact with a prospect and their family as long as you have a pre-existing relationship and there is no attempt to recruit the student-athlete.

• Contact the GSU Compliance Office with any questions you may have about your involvement with prospects or information regarding NIL.

NCAA REPORTING

Your commitment to helping Georgia State comply with the letter and the spirit of the rules and regulations of the Sun Belt Conference and the NCAA is greatly appreciated. If you have any knowledge that an NCAA violation has occurred or believe that an NCAA violation may have occurred, we ask that you notify the Compliance Office at (404) 413-4010 or compliance@gsu.edu.

DO NOT’S

Provide any kind of benefits or special arrangements to a prospect or current student athlete including, but not limited to:

• Co-signing a loan

If it is determined that a violation has occurred, the Compliance Office will notify the Director of Athletics, supervisor, and coach (if applicable) in order to begin the process of selfreporting the violation to either the Sun Belt Conference and/or NCAA, depending on the classification of the violation.

NAME, IMAGE AND LIKENESS NIL POLICY

The NCAA is committed to ensuring that its rules, and its enforcement of those rules, protect and enhance student-athlete well-being and maintain national standards for recruiting. Those goals are consistent with the NCAA’s foundational prohibitions on pay-for-play and impermissible recruiting inducements, which remain essential to collegiate athletics. In Georgia, if an individual elects to engage in an NIL activity, the individual’s eligibility for intercollegiate athletics will not be impacted by application of Bylaw 12 (Amateurism and Athletics Eligibility.”

Student-athletes may earn compensation for the use of the their name, image, and likeness (“NIL”), subject to certain conditions. Georgia State University (“University”) fully supports student-athletes’ NIL rights, as participation in intercollegiate athletics should not infringe upon a student-athlete’s right to earn compensation for his/her NIL. The University and GSU Athletics will provide all students with guidelines that govern their ability to be compensated for their NIL rights (the “Guidelines”).

For every NIL deal a GSU studentathlete enters into, the below two requirements MUST be met:

• Any contract or agreement that is signed with an individual, company, organization, etc., no matter how formal or informal, must be disclosed to Compliance Office

PRIOR to becoming effective.

• After the student-athlete is “paid”, whether it be monetary or in the form of receiving anything of value (gear, merchandise, meals, etc.), this transaction MUST be disclosed on

Any new student-athletes or returners who have yet to gain access should talk to their Head Coach and/or Communications contact for more information.

NIL is NOT pay-for-play for pay-forperformance:

• It is NOT permissible to have entered into any NIL agreement contingent on you enrolling at GSU

While it is permissible under NIL legislation to sell team-issued gear, any student-athlete wishing to do so should talk to their coaching staff about this PRIOR to selling anything to ensure the gear they wish to sell will no longer be needed.

• It is NOT permissible to enter into any NIL agreement contingent on a performance metric, whether individual (e.g. scoring 10 goals over the course of a season) or team-based (e.g. winning the conference tournament).
