BREAKING: Ohio State Buckeyes Make Waves with Groundbreaking Hire of NFL Icon Tom Brady as Assistant General Manager
In a stunning and unexpected move, the Ohio State Buckeyes have announced the hiring of NFL legend Tom Brady as their new Assistant General Manager. The seven-time Super Bowl champion, widely regarded as the greatest quarterback in NFL history, steps into a new chapter—this time off the field and deep within college football.

Brady, who retired from the NFL in 2023, has largely remained out of day-to-day football operations until now. This bold decision marks his first official role in a collegiate program, and one that could reshape the Buckeyes’ trajectory both on the field and in recruiting circles. His unparalleled experience, championship pedigree, and national stature are expected to bring immediate credibility and attention to Ohio State’s program.
University Athletic Director Gene Smith said in a statement: “This is a transformational hire. Tom’s leadership, insight, and championship mindset will be invaluable to our team’s future.”
Though Brady has no prior collegiate management experience, his name alone is likely to create massive buzz in the NCAA. Sources say he will assist with strategic planning, player development, and building an NFL-caliber culture in Columbus.
