Ohio State is targeting Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork to become the school's next athletic director, sources told ESPN.
The hiring process is in the final stages per sources, with some finality expected in the upcoming days. In recent days, sources told ESPN that officials had reached out to other finalists and told them they were no longer in the running.
Bjork's expected hiring brings a paradigm shift for Ohio State athletics, in the wake of the retirement of longtime athletic director Gene Smith, and is symbolic of a new direction from new president Ted Carter, who began his tenure in recent weeks.
