OU Football Announces Front Office Hires Pending Regents Approval

The University of Oklahoma football program, led by General Manager Jim Nagy, has announced several key front office hires as it shifts towards a professionalized NFL-style organizational model. Nagy, hired in February, has assembled a staff combining 60 years of collegiate football experience and 67 years of NFL experience, including roles with multiple NFL teams and extensive scouting backgrounds. The new hires include former NFL wide receiver and executive Lake Dawson as Senior Assistant General Manager, Taylor Redd as Assistant General Manager, and Drew Hill as Director of Scouting, among others. This front office restructure aims to leverage diverse skills from both collegiate and professional levels to build elite rosters, as evidenced by recent successful recruiting weekends. Nagy credited head coach Brent Venables for his strong support and leadership during this transition. The hires are pending approval from the OU Board of Regents and mark a significant step in modernizing Oklahoma football's operational approach.
