With deep ties to the Georgia high school ranks and experience as a top recruiter at the Power Four level, Alex Mathis joined Georgia Tech football as the Yellow Jackets’ executive director of recruiting in 2025.
Mathis comes to Tech from UCF, where he spent three years, first as assistant director of player personnel (2022-23), before being promoted to executive director of recruiting (2023-24). In his time at UCF, he helped the Knights land three top-40 recruiting classes (No. 37 in 2022, No. 38 in 2023 and No. 34 in 2024, according to 247Sports).
Before moving to the collegiate level, Mathis spent eight years as a coach and recruiting coordinator at three Georgia high schools – Fredrica Academy (assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator – 2015-19), Brantley County H.S. (recruiting coordinator and running backs coach – 2020) and Glynn Academy (recruiting coordinator and RB coach – 2021). He helped coach Fredrica to a state championship in 2018.
A Waycross, Ga. native, Mathis holds a bachelor’s degree from College of Coastal Georgia and a master’s from Georgia Southern.
