Tennessee State football head coach Eddie George named Travis Partridge as the team’s offensive coordinator.

Partridge replaces Tyler Roehl, who departed barely a month after taking the Tigers job to accept the associate head coach and running backs coach positions at Iowa State.

“I am thrilled to welcome Travis to our staff,” George said in a statement. “With a robust coaching background and a deep understanding of our offensive strategies, he brings valuable expertise to our team. Hailing from a championship program within the conference, Travis will undoubtedly be a significant asset to our football program.”
