Texas State Athletics

Matthew Gregg was named the Texas State cornerbacks coach in December 2022.

In his first season with the Bobcats in 2023, the Texas State secondary had 11 interceptions, including three by cornerback Kaleb Ford-Dement. The first-year Bobcat and graduate student had a career-high 3 picks and was the eighth-ranked cornerback in the Sun Belt according to PFF’s pass coverage grades.
 
The group of corners was not limited to Ford-Dement, however. Gregg also tutored Josh Eaton and Chris Mills, who were 15th and 16th in the Sun Belt in PFF’s reception percentage (percentage of targets caught). Both saw a career-high in snaps played in 2023.

Gregg came to Texas State from UIW, where he was the secondary coach since 2019. He helped lift the Cardinals to two conference championships and a berth into the FCS Playoffs semifinals in 2022.
 
Prior to UIW, Gregg was the linebackers coach, recruiting coordinator and special teams coordinator at Kilgore College in 2018. He helped the Rangers win a conference championship and tutored several players who went on to play at the NCAA level.
 
Gregg was a high school coach in Texas and Oklahoma for three years before making the jump to the junior college level. He started out at Bethany High School in Bethany, Oklahoma in 2015 before coaching at Van Vleck High School (TX) in 2016 and Fort Bend Hightower High School (TX) in 2017. At each stop he was the linebackers coach while he was also the special teams coordinator at Fort Bend Hightower and Van Vleck.
 
From Houston, Texas, Gregg played collegiately at Southern Nazarene and Kilgore College. The All-American linebacker was also a team captain while at Southern Nazarene.
