Five days after starting his new job, Kansas athletic director Jeff Long has made his first staff addition.
On Monday afternoon, Long hired Mike Vollmar as senior associate AD for football administration. Vollmar, who served at director of football operations at IMG Academy in Florida last season, previously was an associate AD for football operations at Tennessee (four years), Michigan (two), Alabama (three) and Michigan State (12).
Long said after an initial evaluation, he believed KU needed a stronger commitment to its program with the most student-athletes.
“I am pleased to add an administrator of Mike’s caliber and experience to our staff,” Long said in a release.
