Sooners hire ex-Senior Bowl director Jim Nagy as football GM

Oklahoma has hired Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy to be its football general manager.

Since 2018, Nagy had run the Senior Bowl, the annual postseason college all-star game in Mobile, Alabama. He will now lead the Sooners' roster building, player evaluation, recruiting and compensations operations alongside coach Brent Venables.

"This is a new era in intercollegiate athletics at one of the greatest college football programs in the country," Nagy said in a statement.
