Arizona's football program has reportedly hired Western Michigan general manager Gaizka Crowley for the same role, per FootballScoop.com's John Brice on Tuesday.
Crowley spent one season at Western Michigan under head coach Lance Taylor, after spending the previous three seasons at UNLV under Rebels coach Marcus Arroyo. Arroyo was recently hired as offensive coordinator at ASU.
At UNLV, Crowley was a director of player personnel, interim director of football operations and then became chief of staff in 2022. Crowley was also the director of recruiting and player personnel at Southern Illinois for two seasons.
Before Crowley's front-office career began in college football, he was the midwest regional director of recruiting and scouting for "XOS Digital" in Chicago, where he edited highlights for prospects, rated players and traveled across the U.S. to demonstrate recruiting software programs.
The Tallahassee native and Florida State alumnus also contributed to the selection of players for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl and Under Armour All-America game.
