Michigan State football loses member of recruiting staff

A familiar face in the recruiting department has departed Michigan State for a new position in the college football world.

Austin D’Armond has left his role with Michigan State to become the Director of Player Personnel & Recruiting Strategy at Nevada. During his time at MSU, he held the role of Director of Player Personnel/Defense working on the Spartans recruiting efforts on the defensive side of the ball.

Prior to joining Jonathan Smith and company in East Lansing, D’Armond was a member of Smith’s staff in Corvallis at Oregon State for two seasons in a similar recruiting role.

Getting an undergraduate and graduate degrees from Texas, D’Armond spent two years as a recruiting intern, and upon graduating, he became a player personnel graduate assistant for the Longhorns.

Michigan State has already filled some of the void he left, adding Michael Morales from Texas to the staff, and there is an expectation that the Spartans could be making one or two more hires in it’s recruiting department, that is led by Director of Recruiting and Player Relations, Michael Doctor.
