ALBANY, Ga. – Head Football Coach David Bowser has announced the addition of two key members to his coaching staff, naming Graham Hobbs as Offensive Coordinator and Tony McWhite as Defensive Backs Coach.
 
Hobbs brings extensive collegiate experience across multiple levels of Division I and HBCU football. Most recently serving as Associate Head Coach and Wide Receivers Coach at Saint Augustine's University, Hobbs has also coached at Western Carolina, East Carolina, Marshall, North Carolina Central, and Florida International. Throughout his career, he has developed all-conference performers and helped mentor record-setting freshmen at the Division I level. His background includes recruiting coordination, offensive game planning, and academic liaison work supporting student-athlete success.
 
"Coach Hobbs brings energy, experience, and a proven ability to develop offensive talent," said Bowser. "He understands how to build explosive units and recruit at a high level."
 
McWhite joins the Golden Rams with a strong background in player development and sports performance. He most recently served as a Strength & Conditioning Intern at Georgia Tech and previously held roles at Mississippi Valley State University, where he worked in sports performance and defensive quality control. McWhite also coached defensive backs at the high school level while leading academic support initiatives for student-athletes.
 
"Tony understands both development and discipline," Bowser said. "His experience in strength and conditioning, combined with his defensive background, will elevate our secondary."
 
Hobbs and McWhite join previously announced staff members Markus McElveen, Marcus Hilliard, and Chris Holmes as Bowser continues to assemble his leadership team.
 
Bowser has also retained members of the previous staff, including Ryan Petrasek, Kahari Love, Elijah Washington, and Anthony Kelly, ensuring continuity within the program.
 
Both Hobbs and McWhite will officially begin their roles on Monday, February 23.
 
The final addition to the football staff, a Director of Football Operations, will be announced at a later date.
 
With these additions, Albany State Football continues its momentum heading into the upcoming season under Bowser's leadership.
