Syracuse Football to Hire Nate McNeal as General Manager (Report)

It may be National Signing Day, but that has not prevented staff news from being reported. According to FootballScoop, Syracuse is set to hire Nate McNeal as its new General Manager, a position that did not exist under prior regimes. McNeal was the Director of Player Personnel at Illinois the last two seasons. 

This new position was created by Fran Brown and part of changes he has implemented into the program as Syracuse looks to show it is serious about turning its football program into a winner once again. 

Here is more on McNeal from the FootballScoop report: 

Brown and McNeal previously worked together at Temple in 2019, when Brown was the Owls' co-defensive coordinator and McNeal was finishing up multiple seasons as that program's director of player personnel.

A former letterwinner at Northern Illinois, McNeal has worked at his alma mater, delivered two separate stints at Illinois and now been positioned for this new oversight role at Syracuse.

McNeal's diverse work background in college football includes multiple roles as a personnel director, as well as high school relations and in video operations. He was viewed as a key cog for Bielema and Illinois as that program reestablished its recruiting bona fides within the state.
