Michigan State graduate assistant Cordae Hankton leaving for job at Texas

Updated Feb 26, 2021

Michigan State coach Mel Tucker lost a member of his staff who was also a key recruiter.  Cordae Hankton, who spent the 2020 season as a graduate assistant on defense, announced via Twitter on Friday he is taking a job as a defensive analyst at Texas under new coach Steve Sarkisian.

Hankton, a 32-year-old New Orleans native, has been instrumental in Michigan State expanding its recruiting footprint in Louisiana – a state the program lists only five all-time letterwinners from with the last being in the 1970s. The Spartans in February signed Keon Coleman, a three-star wide receiver from Louisiana, to their 2021 recruiting class. That was after previously having a commitment from Jah’von Grigsby, a 2021 three-star safety from Louisiana who decommitted in November and signed with Purdue in December.

After playing safety at Jackson State, Hankton spent five years as a police officer in New Orleans. He spent seven years as a high school assistant coach in Louisiana before serving as an offensive graduate assistant for Tucker at Colorado in 2019. When Tucker left the Buffaloes to lead the Spartans, he brought Hankton with him. Hankton’s older brother Cortez Hankton is the passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach at Georgia and worked with Tucker, who was the defensive coordinator for the Bulldogs from 2016-18.

Tucker lost one of his 10 on-field assistants this offseason. Safeties coach Mike Tressel in January was hired as Cincinnati’s defensive coordinator.

Are these new analyst replacing guys that left, or are we increasing the number of analyst on staff?

Hard to tell. We had somewhere around 8 analysts under Herman. Right now, I know of 6 new hires. Some of the old ones left for new positions, others are more unclear.

Who are your six new analyst hires??

Here's who I came up with:

  • Henry Fernandez (UW) Def Analyst
  • JaJuan Dulaney (Tech/UH) Off Analyst
  • Cordae Hankton (MichSt)  Def Analyst

 

Also

  • Jason Grooms (Vandy) Chief of Staff
  • Billy Glasscock (NCSt) Dir of Player Personnel
  • Brandon Harris  Dir of Recruiting
  • Taylor Searels (Vandy)  Dir of Recruiting Operations
  • Chris Gilbert (Lancaster HS) Director HS Relations

👀 the # he's wearing. It takes some major confidence to wear that number at the same position as the last guy to wear it.

yaa.. I don't see Malik being confused with Johnny Lam Jones anytime soon. Hopefully the ceiling for that number isn't a third round draft pick.

Jake Kostner is still around from the last staff: https://twitter.com/jake_kostner

Mike Pomfret seems like he might be new, but I think as a GA: https://twitter.com/CoachPomfret

 

We'd hired Eman Naghavi from UL-Monroe, but he found an onfield OL job at Georgia State: https://twitter.com/Emannaghavi

Wasn't sure if Kostner was a GA or analyst.

Brown and Moore are a different org - Player Personnel rather than coaches.

And Moore is already in.

I was about to make a similar comment about Malik. I'm sure some of us have tried to erase any memory of Ossai being used as a pure LB.

Yeah man, he was probably a Todd Orlando away from being an all-timer here

Not full suits usually, but slacks, dress shirt and tie are the norm at headquarters. Depends on which oil company really, but no matter which one you choose it wont be like Silicon Valley companies..
I read about a guy who wore a gray suit at an oil company HQ and they called security called on him... In the middle of a meeting security busted in and asked if he was wearing gray slacks.

That doesnt happen at an IT company.

happiest tweet I’ve seen lately. 
 

get fucked you rape apologist and don’t let the door hit you on the way out. 

Notice Horny waited until after Herman landed somewhere to take a role. Guaranteed that Herman would have brought him in for an on field role as a HC.

My buddy’s wife is Japanese and goes by Miso (sp?). Every time I see a story about Casey Horny, shitbag though he is, it makes me sad that he never married my buddy’s wife....
