LAWRENCEVILLE, GA - A rising star in intercollegiate athletics has been hired as assistant athletics director for external operations at Georgia Gwinnett College. Deonne Moore will be the new assistant athletics director, said Darin Wilson, Associate Vice President of Athletics. Moore comes to GGC after serving as assistant athletics director for marketing and promotions at Troy University in Alabama. He also has worked in marketing and sports information positions at Oklahoma Baptist University and the University of Southern Mississippi. In his administrative role at Georgia Gwinnett College, Moore will oversee the institution's athletic fundraising, corporate sponsorship, marketing and athletics communications efforts, including sports information and the Grizzly Digital Network. "Deonne brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and energy from multiple NCAA Division I and Division II institutions, and he will provide key leadership for our external operations department," Wilson said. "As a member of our senior leadership team, he will help guide GGC athletics for many years to come." Georgia Gwinnett College's athletic teams have won 11 National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics national championships since the program was introduced in 2012. There are sports in baseball, softball, men's and women's soccer, and men's and women's tennis. Teams in all six sports are currently ranked in the top 20 of national polls and have made national tournament appearances since 2017. "I am extremely excited to be a part of GGC Athletics and I'm ready to get rolling," Moore said Monday.
