The Nebraska Athletic Department announced Thursday the hiring of Marquita Armstead as Executive Associate Athletic Director and Senior Woman Administrator. Armstead comes to Nebraska from the University of South Florida, where she served in a similar role. Armstead's appointment is pending the completion of a University of Nebraska background check.
Armstead has been a member of the South Florida athletics administration since March of 2016. She originally joined USF as Associate Athletic Director for Compliance, before being elevated to Senior Associate Director of Athletics/Senior Woman Administrator in August of 2017.
"I am honored and humbled to be given the opportunity to join the Nebraska Athletics, and to continue to build upon the success that has been established there," Armstead said.
