"I'm very grateful for the opportunity Coach Monken has given me and my family to join Army Football," said Fuqua. "Being able to coach the young men at West Point is very exciting and I can't wait to get started. GO ARMY, BEAT Navy!"
Burks has spent the last five seasons with the Kennesaw State Owls and spent the last three games of the 2024 campaign as the interim head coach. Before that, he was co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach.It is a position that he knows well, as he was a quarterback for the Owls from 2015-18. He played under current Army offensive coordinator Cody Worley, as the two will now be working together on the same staff.
"First, I must give honor and glory to my lord and savior for this opportunity," said Burks. "I would like to thank Jeff Monken and Cody Worley for this incredible opportunity and for believing in me. It is an unbelievable honor and privilege to be joining this staff, and I could not be more excited to be part of the brotherhood at Army West Point. GO ARMY! BEAT Navy."
