Georgia Tech Announces Hiring of Strength and Conditioning Staff

Georgia Tech has finalized the hiring of its strength and conditioning staff

Although the hire was reported some time ago, Georgia Tech made the hiring of the strength and conditioning staff official today. 

According to his bio on the USF team website, Artis was a tight end and wide receiver at Campbell University and Artis spent two seasons at Duke (2016-18) working as assistant director of strength and conditioning. He joined the Blue Devils in the summer of 2016 and primarily trained in the football and field hockey programs. He also helped direct high-performance efforts with several other varsity sports. The Duke field hockey squad he trained in 2016 was ranked in the top five for the entire season and advanced to the NCAA Championships.

After his time at Duke, Artis joined the Tennessee staff under head coach Jeremy Pruitt in January 2018 and served as assistant director of football sports performance under then-director Craig Fitzgerald for two seasons before being promoted to Fitzgerald’s position following his departure to the NFL’s New York Giants. He served for one season as director during the 2020 campaign before leaving for USF in March 2021.

Along with Artis, Georgia Tech announced the other hirings on the strength and conditioning staff that will work alongside Artis. 

· Byron Jerideau – associate director of football strength and performance/accountability

· Jordan Diaz – director of speed and associate director of football performance

· Tyler Smith – assistant director of football strength and conditioning

· Sean Boyle – performance manager/assistant director of football strength and conditioning

Hiring a complete strength and conditioning staff is one of the most important that a head coach has to make and now, Key has his staff. This staff will be getting back to work for winter conditioning, which is a crucial part of the offseason heading into the spring.
