Offseason Movement: Michigan adds staffer to recruiting department
Michigan has added another member to its recruiting department after a few departures this offseason.
Adam Jones will serve as a personnel and recruiting analyst for the Wolverines. He joins the U-M staff after a five-year playing career at the college level.
Jones spent his first two seasons at Central Michigan before transferring to Arkansas State. His final year came in 2023 when appeared in 11 games, logging 11 receptions for 195 yards. Jones was named to the Arkansas State Athletic Director’s Honor Roll three times.
This move should come as no surprise considering Michigan lost three recruiting staffers this winter — 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 and Jacob Weber is now a high school coach in Indiana.
Michigan also recently lost its Associate Director of On-Campus Recruiting, Joshua Bailey, who recently 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 year and a half. The Wolverines reassigned Albert Karschnia and promoted Sam Popper to Director of Recruiting. U-M also brought on John Collins and Jack Dunaway as Assistant Directors 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.
