Welcome, Gamecocks! My name is Kyron Samuels, the Coordinator of Undergraduate Recruitment Communication. I’m thrilled to be working in higher education at my alma mater. My goal is to deliver messaging and branding to prospective students, parents, current students, and alumni that both informs and entertains.

I’m a graduate and a Jax State football letterman. While attending the university, I was a three-year starter, a two-time all-conference offensive lineman, and won three consecutive conference titles. I loved to attend art installations at Jax State’s Hammond Hall, and still do so today. I also enjoy attending as many Jax State sporting events as possible! I loved my time as a student-athlete and believe it equipped me with the necessary tools to succeed post-grad.

After a four-year professional football stint, I retired from the sport. Before returning to Jax State, I had the privilege of becoming a credentialed sports media member covering the NFL, UFL, USFL, & college football. The NFL Scouting Combine, Reese’s Senior Bowl, & East-West Shrine Bowl are among the events I’ve covered. As a guest and host, I’ve been featured on ESPN Radio, Fox Sports Radio, & IHeartRadio.

I’m a Fairhope, Alabama, native. In 2022, I was inducted into the Fairhope Athletic Hall of Fame. I couldn’t be more excited to be back at the “ Friendliest Campus In The South,” and I look forward to the future here!
