Former Auburn defensive back joins Georgia Southern coaching staff

A former Auburn defensive back is leaving the Plains.

After playing for Auburn from 2017-21, Malcolm askew joined the football support staff as a player personnel analyst. Well, he is moving up in the coaching ranks, he has joined the Georgia Southern coaching staff as a graduate assistant, he announced on Twitter.

The McCalla, Alabama native will be joining Clay Helton’s coaching staff to help coach the wide receivers, a position he has experience covering but never played in his time as a Tiger.

Askew, who was a member of Auburn’s 2017 signing class, made five tackles in 16 games during his time at Auburn. He made sure to thank Bryan Harsin and the rest of his coaching staff for his time with them in a second Tweet.

“Thank You Auburn, Coach Harsin, & Staff For The Opportunity To Work, Grow and Serve The Last 6 Months,” he wrote.
