Ohio State Hires Morgan Phillips As Director of Recruiting and Special Events

Ohio State has added another former Nick Saban assistant to its recruiting department.

Morgan Phillips, who was the recruiting operations coordinator at LSU and previously worked in multiple roles at Alabama, joined Ohio State’s staff this week as its new director of recruiting and special events.

Phillips replaces Erin Dunston, who left Ohio State in June to become the director of football operations at Michigan.

Phillips becomes the second former member of Saban’s staff to join Ohio State’s player personnel department this offseason. Sam Petitto, who was the director of player personnel at Alabama from 2016-23, became Mark Pantoni’s lead assistant as Ohio State’s new director of player personnel in February.
