Mississippi State reportedly has its sights set on its next athletic director.
The Bulldogs are targeting Zac Selmon, deputy athletic director for external engagement and advancement at Oklahoma, for the job, per Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated.
Selmon is in his eighth academic year at OU after serving as the associate AD at North Carolina. Before going to Chapel Hill, the former Wake Forest tight end served as a graduate assistant at Oklahoma before holding the titles of assistant director of development, associate director of development and director of capital gifts.
He served as the senior associate athletics director for advancement/administration from 2017-2021 at OU.
Selmon would replace John Cohen, Mississippi State’s most recent permanent AD, who left for the same position at Auburn on Oct. 31. Compliance director Bracky Brett has been the Bulldogs’ interim AD since then.
