Terry Harvin

Terry Harvin serves as the Deputy Athletics Director for Development, a role he assumed in August of 2025. In his role, Harvin oversees the Georgia Southern Athletic Foundation, the chief fundraising arm of the department.

With this move, Harvin continues his long-standing relationship with Georgia Southern as he begins this new role. A Georgia Southern alumnus who has substantial ties to the Eagles and the region, Harvin was appointed general manager for Georgia Southern Sports Properties in April of 2021 by Learfield, the university’s athletics multimedia rights holder.
 
Harvin, a 1991 graduate and former president and executive board member for the Eagle Football Alumni Association, led day-to-day operations for locally based Georgia Southern Sports Properties, which manages the comprehensive rights relationship. Harvin oversaw record growth and development of the Eagles’ corporate partner platform and served as the primary Learfield liaison with Director of Athletics Chris Davis and the athletics administration.
 
Before his role with Learfield, Harvin most recently was vice president of business development for Macon Occupational Medicine. He joined Learfield’s local GS team with already a deep affinity to the university and extensive sales, media and marketing experience. He has been the Eagles’ radio color analyst for nearly two decades, and he has served as director of development for the Georgia Southern Athletic Foundation/Atlanta Region. Harvin is also the former senior vice president, sales and marketing for Kimco Services, LLC.

Serving as the color analyst for the Georgia Southern Sports Network since 2006, Harvin was a member of the Eagles’ 1986, ‘89 and ‘90 national championship teams. The four-year letterman and former punter has served the University as the President of the GS Alumni Association, donor development for the Athletic Foundation and is in a leadership role with the Eagle Football Alumni Association (EFAA).

Professionally, Harvin uses many of the lessons learned from former Eagle great, Coach Erk Russell, with the various donors, businesses and organizations he works with.

Harvin and his wife, the former Lori Driggers (c/o ‘94), have three daughters: Madelyn (GS c/o ‘19), Sarah (UGA c/o ‘22) and Gillian (a GS c/o ‘25).
