FULL BIOGRAPHY
Georgia native and NFL veteran Darius Eubanks joined Georgia Tech’s staff as linebackers coach in 2025.
Eubanks comes to The Flats from his alma mater, Georgia Southern, where he spent the last two seasons, first as secondary coach in 2023, then as linebackers coach and run game coordinator in 2024. His ultra-successful stint at Georgia Southern was highlighted by coaching two all-conference linebackers in 2024 – including the Sun Belt Conference’s leading tackler and Defensive Player of the Year, Marques Watson-Trent – and helping the Eagles finish among the top 30 nationally in interceptions behind all-conference safety T.J. Smith in 2023.
A Thomson, Ga. native, Eubanks played linebacker and defensive back at Georgia Southern from 2009-12, starting in 50-of-52 games and racking up 260 tackles and 22 passes defended for his collegiate career. He was a first-team all-Southern Conference selection as a senior and helped lead the Eagles to three NCAA Division I FCS semifinals appearances in his four seasons at Georgia Southern.
He went on to play four seasons (2013-16) in the National Football League with the Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Following the conclusion of his NFL career, Eubanks got into coaching as a defensive line graduate assistant at Arkansas in 2017. He then went on to spend three seasons at Samford, first as safeties coach in 2018 and 2019, then as defensive backs coach and co-special teams coordinator during the Covid-19-delayed spring 2021 season.
He moved to Atlanta and the FBS ranks in 2021 as safeties coach at Georgia State, before one season as defensive backs coach at Liberty (2022). His experience also includes a fellowship as a defensive assistant (ILB/OLB) with the NFL’s Miami Dolphins in 2024.
In all, Eubanks has coached five all-conference honorees, an FCS all-American, three players that ranked in the top 15 nationally in interceptions and five that have gone on to play in the NFL. He has also helped lead his teams to bowl games in all four seasons of his coaching career at the FBS level.
Eubanks graduated from Georgia Southern in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in sport management.
