- Assistant Coach - Running Backs
Georgia football hired Josh Crawford as run game coordinator/running backs coach in February 2024.
Crawford, who earned his master’s degree from Georgia in 2012, was most recently Georgia Tech’s wide receivers coach for the 2023 season.
Crawford’s single season with the Yellow Jackets produced a Freshman All-American in Eric Singleton Jr. as he hauled in 48 catches for 714 yards and six touchdowns. Georgia Tech had 14 different players catch balls, including Malik Rutherford who finished with 46 catches and more than 500 yards receiving.
Crawford made an immediate impact in recruiting as well as he signed Singleton Jr. and another talented group in the 2024 class.
With a decade as one of the state of Georgia’s most successful and respected high school coaches, Crawford entered into collegiate coaching in 2021 at Western Kentucky and helped guide one of college football’s most prolific offenses for two seasons. He served as WKU’s outside receivers coach in 2021 and was promoted to co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach in 2022. In his two seasons at WKU, Crawford’s wideouts combined for 10,339 receiving yards and 94 touchdowns.
Prior to making the jump to the college ranks, Crawford established himself as one of the nation’s top offensive coaches in the high school ranks, coaching at five of Georgia’s most storied and successful programs – Colquitt County H.S., Valdosta H.S., Lee County H.S., Jefferson County H.S. and Greater Atlanta Christian (2010-12 – running backs/tight ends).
During his 11 seasons in the high school ranks, Crawford helped lead three teams to Georgia 6A state championships and one national title. He coached six all-state receivers, four of which went on to play at the Power Five level.
Crawford played collegiately at Morehouse College in Atlanta, where he was a running back from 2004-06. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Morehouse in 2007 and master’s degrees from both Georgia and Valdosta State (2020).
He and his wife, Jessica, have two daughters – Ava Louise and Asha.
