Eric Morris is making a crucial move in one of his new Oklahoma State program's top, off-the-field positions.
Multiple sources tell FootballScoop that Ethan Russo is poised to become the Cowboys' Executive Director of Player Personnel.
It's another impressive step for Russo, who's rejoining Morris after spending the 2025 season with him at North Texas.
He also has previous Power Conference experience at both Utah and Wisconsin.
Russo likewise has some NFL experience from working with the Indianapolis Colts.
A TCU alum, Russo, who's helped amass three nationally ranked recruiting classes in the past eight years, is just completing his first decade in college athletics. He's also worked at Rice University.
Morris is taking over at Oklahoma State on the heels of incredible work at North Texas, which just missed a potential a College Football Playoff bid with its American Conference Championship-game loss to Tulane. Jon Sumrall's Green Wave landed the No. 11 CFP seed when it defeated North Texas in the American title.
