The University of Wisconsin football program will need to replace one of its key recruiting staffers this offseason.
As first reported by Matt Zenitz, Wisconsin Director of Player Personnel Ethan Russo is leaving Madison to join Oklahoma State as the Cowboys’ Executive Director of Player Personnel, reuniting with Eric Morris after just one season with the Badgers.
Russo’s departure comes less than a year after he was brought to Wisconsin as part of a broader restructuring of the program’s recruiting and roster management operation. When Max Stienecker departed for USC last offseason, the Badgers reshuffled responsibilities within their personnel department, leaning into a more modern front office model that mirrored what many programs around the country were already doing.
