Georgia is promoting Josh Brooks to its fulltime role as athletic director, the school announced Wednesday.
Brooks, who has served as Georgia's deputy athletic director, took over the department in an interim role on Jan. 1 when Greg McGarity retired after a decade at the school.
Brooks, 40, has spent 11 years total at Georgia during two stints, returning in 2016 as executive associate director of athletics.
"I want to thank [university] President [Jere] Morehead for giving me this incredible opportunity," Brooks said in a prepared statement. "This is a dream come true, and I am excited to get started.
