Alex Suber is in his first season as the Bulldogs’ defensive coordinator in 2026.

Suber arrives in Milledgeville after spending the 2025 season at Florida Memorial University as the Defensive Coordinator, where he helped lead a defense that produced 4 All-SUN Conference players, 1 Freshman All-American, and Sun Conference Freshman of the Year.  His defense set multiple records for FMU program history: Most defensive points scored, least rush/pass/total yds & points allowed in a game.

In conference, Suber’s defense finished #1 total defense, #1 total yds per game, #1 in forced fumbles, #2 total pass yds allowed, #2 in pass yds allowed per game, and #2 in defensive touchdowns scored.  On a NAIA national level, the Lion defense ranked #7 in pass yds allowed per game and #12 in total yds per game.

He spent the 2024 season in the Canadian Football League as the secondary coach at the Ottawa Redblacks, where he helped lead a secondary that produced 2 All-Pro CFL defensive backs, Damon Webb and Adarius Pickett.  Webb broke franchise records for interceptions for touchdowns in a game (2) and tied for most INTs in a game (2).  Suber’s secondary helped the Redblacks finish with the best home record in organization history and make the playoffs for the first time since 2018.

Before his time in Ottawa, Suber spent the 2023 season as the cornerbacks coach at his alma mater Middle Tennessee State University.  During his time in Murfreesboro, he saw All-CUSA DB Teldrick Ross finish as a Wuerffel Trophy Nominee and attend New England Patriots training camp following a stellar senior season.  All-CUSA DB Tra Fluellen had his senior season cut short due to injury but eventually signed to the New Orleans Saints roster.  Sophomore DB Tyrell Raby finished as an All-CUSA newcomer and later signed with the BC Lions of the CFL, while standout Jakobe Thomas finished the year second on the team with 71 tackles, including 3.0 TFLs, five pass breakups, a fumble recovery, a forced fumble and a blocked kick and was recently drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the 2026 NFL Draft.

From 2020 to 2022, Suber served as the receivers and tight ends coach with the Ottawa Redblacks.  Under Suber’s tutelage, receiver Jaelon Acklin reached career high accomplishments in 2022.  Acklin was the first WR to reach 1,000 yards during the year, while finishing as an All-Pro CFL WR despite suffering a season ending injury with 4 games remaining.

Suber spent 2018-2019 coaching receivers at Murray State University.  There in 2019 he helped Malik Honeycutt to 1^st Team All-American, 1^st Team All-OVC and All-Newcomer OVC.

In 2018, he was named defensive coordinator at Lyon College in Batesville, Arkansas.

Suber served as a graduate assistant and football operations assistant at Bethune-Cookman University in 2017.  He worked with the defensive backs and special teams while traveling ahead of the team to confirm all hotel and travel operations.

He began his coaching career with stops at Middleton High School (2015) in Tampa, Florida and Westwood High School (2016) in Fort Pierce, Florida where he had Pass Game Coordinator-Secondary Coach and Special Teams Coordinator-Secondary Coach duties.

The Tampa, Florida native was an All-State running back and team captain at Jefferson High School from 2003-2005.  Suber graduated in 2009 with a Bachelor of Business Administration from Middle Tennessee State University where he was a team captain and 1^st Team Sun Belt Conference. He was instrumental in the 10-3 season capped by a 42-28 New Orleans Bowl win against Southern Miss in 2009.

Suber went on to make a name for himself as a defensive back in the Canadian Football League for 6 seasons. He was a part of the history making “Swaggerville” defense for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers from 2010-2014.  He finished his career playing for both the Toronto Argonauts (14) and Saskatchewan Rough Riders (15).

Suber and his beloved wife Valentine have a son – Avi. 

His older brother Allen Suber has nearly two decades of coaching experience along with Black College Football Hall of Fame honors and time on several NFL rosters.
