Offseason Movement: Michigan loses pair of recruiting staffers
As reported earlier today, Michigan Assistant Director of Recruiting Jack Dunaway is set to become a scouting assistant with the Seattle Seahawks. But he’s not the only person leaving Michigan’s recruiting department.
The Wolverines are losing two other staffers in Daniel Litke and Josh Meyer.
Meyer was a student intern who spent almost three years working in the Michigan recruiting department before being promoted last offseason. He is expected to depart for a scouting position with the Cleveland Browns.
Meyer worked closely with Michigan offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey this offseason and focused on quarterback recruits.
On the flip side of the coin, Litke is leaving the program after just joining it in early February. It is unclear what happened with Litke as his LinkedIn profile simply says ‘looking for opportunities.’
Litke joins the Michigan staff after spending almost three years as a scouting and recruiting intern for Kansas. He primarily focused on helping Michigan assistant Lou Esposito with defensive line recruiting.
Michigan has lost eight recruiting staffers this offseason — Jack Turner is now a college scout for the Tennessee Titans, Coleman Walker is now the Director of Player Personnel for Washington State, Cam Hughes is now the Assistant Director of Player Personnel at Jacksonville State, Jacob Weber is now a high school coach in Indiana and Preston Sagan is now part of the scouting service Tracking Football.
Michigan also lost its Associate Director of On-Campus Recruiting, Joshua Bailey, who left to take over as Director of Recruiting for Georgia State.
Michigan has made plenty of recent changes to its recruiting department over the last two years. The Wolverines reassigned Albert Karschnia and promoted Popper to Director of Recruiting. Every on-field assistant coach was assigned a recruiting staffer to help with position recruiting.
Sherrone Moore has shown a commitment to modernizing and expanding his staff during his tenure as head coach. That will not change moving forward.
