Boston College Football Makes Addition to Player Personnel Department: The Rundown

The last week of Boston College football’s 2026 spring ball is underway, and while the players — newcomers and returners alike — are continuing to develop chemistry and master the ropes of Bill O’Brien and Ted Roof’s playbook, more additions to the program’s off-the-field staff are being made.

On Tuesday, the program hired Ryan Roberts to be its next Director of Player Personnel, according to Chris Hummer of 247Sports. Roberts was previously the assistant Director of Player Personnel at Mississippi State, and he served in previous roles at North Carolina and LIberty.

Roberts confirmed the report by changing his bio in X, formerly known as Twitter, to his new job, and he also reposted a video from Tuesday’s practice.

A graduate of Liberty, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in sports management (2023) and his master’s in sports administration (2025), Roberts’ responsibilities for the Bulldogs this past season were to assist with evaluation of high school prospects, with an emphasis on assigned position groups.

He additionally organized recruiting travel for assigned coaches and guided student interns that worked for the program.

Since O’Brien’s hiring back in 2023, the Eagles have made a strong push to revamp their staff — from coaching and the strength department to the player-development side and general management.

That included hiring Kenyatta Watson, a BC football alum, from Auburn over this offseason to be the program’s new general manager.

Boston College Quote of the Day:

“Sometimes I get people looking at me, saying, ‘I know you. I just can’t place you.’ I’ll say, ‘Yeah, yeah! Maybe from high school. Did you go to Issaquah?’ And it’s like, ‘Nope,’ and they just go away. They don’t know me.”
