Things have slowed down for Kentucky football, but that doesn’t mean Will Stein and his coaching staff aren’t working. In fact, his coaching staff is growing.
KSR has learned that Jerret McElwain will serve as the Kentucky Director of Player Personnel. The Director of Player Personnel is a position in the front office who will work with Pat Biondo and Pete Nochta to manage Kentucky’s roster. He has an extensive history in the business.
The son of Central Michigan head coach Jim McElwain, Jerret spent the last two years as an Assistant Director of Player Personnel for Kalen DeBoer at Alabama. He got his start in the business while he was a student at Alabama, working as a player personnel assistant in 2014. His father was the Crimson Tide’s offensive coordinator from 2008-11.
Before returning to Tuscaloosa, McElwain worked for Kalen DeBoer at Washington. He earned a reputation in the industry by climbing the ladder in Jim Harbaugh‘s scouting department at Michigan. Like many of the assistants on Will Stein’s staff, McElwain is bringing a ton of experience from some of the top college football programs in America to Kentucky.?
