Texas A&M apparently already had its target lined up at athletic director, following the abrupt resignation of Eric Hyman on Tuesday.
The Aggies have hired Scott Woodward, who's been Washington's athletic director since 2008, to fill the same role at A&M, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Woodward's hiring was first reported by Chip Brown of Horns Digest.
Woodward is an LSU graduate, and he follows A&M president Michael K. Young from Washington, where Young also served as president before arriving at A&M last year.
In addition to his time at Washington, Woodward served as external affairs director at LSU from 2000-04, according to his biography.
