New Oklahoma Sooners general manager Jim Nagy continues to add to his front office this offseason.
Nagy’s latest hire is a former NFL wide receiver, who also has NFL front office experience, as Oklahoma has brought on Lake Dawson to the front office staff. Dawson joins assistant general manager Taylor Redd, director of high school scouting Kale Pearson, assistant director of college scouting Charlie Parkinson, player personnel staffer Stacey Ford, and Nagy as the new faces so far in OU’s front office.
Dawson was most recently the senior executive for the Buffalo Bills. He joined the franchise back in 2017 as their assistant director of college scouting.
Dawson served in various personnel roles with the Seattle Seahawks from 2001 to 2006. He was a senior personnel executive with the Cleveland Browns in 2016 and was the vice president of player personnel with the Tennessee Titans from 2007 to 2015.
Dawson is a Notre Dame alum, who was drafted in the third round (92nd overall) of the 1994 NFL Draft. He played for both the Kansas City Chiefs and the Indianapolis Colts.
As Jim Nagy continues to remake the front office in Norman, he’s changing the way Oklahoma recruits, portals and scouts in college football’s NIL era.
