@codyfollett
Experienced Director of Player Personnel in collegiate football.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated professional with a Bachelor of Science in Sport Management from Olivet Nazarene University. My career in football personnel began with a strong foundation in scouting and recruiting, leading to my current role as Director of Player Personnel for Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Football. Here, I am responsible for the development and maintenance of recruiting boards, implementing effective communication strategies between coaches and recruits, and scouting opponent offenses to provide valuable insights to our defensive staff.
Previously, I served as the Director of Player Personnel for Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks, where I successfully overhauled the recruiting strategy and managed the identification and evaluation of prospects. My experience as a Player Personnel Analyst at Sam Houston State Bearkats further honed my skills in evaluating incoming recruits and managing scholarship allocations. Additionally, my role with NFL Draft Bible allowed me to create pro scouting evaluations and manage a comprehensive database of draft-eligible players, showcasing my ability to operate at a high level in the competitive landscape of football.
