One of the newest members of Ohio State’s recruiting staff has been named the player personnel director of the year.
Zach Grant, who was hired as Ohio State’s director of player personnel in February, was named by FootballScoop as the player personnel director of the year in recognition of his previous work at Western Kentucky.
At Western Kentucky, where Grant worked from 2017-21, he played a key role in recruiting players like defensive end DeAngelo Malone and quarterback Bailey Zappe – who were selected in the third and fourth round of this past week’s NFL draft, respectively – and wide receiver Jerreth Sterns, who led the nation in receiving last season while Zappe broke the Football Bowl Subdivision records for single-season passing yards and touchdowns.
