In a move to fortify its off-field infrastructure following a difficult 2025 campaign, UMass Football has hired Brandon Bowie as its new Director of High School Recruiting.

Bowie arrives in Amherst from the University of Pittsburgh, where he served as a senior player personnel and recruiting analyst under Pat Narduzzi. The hire represents a strategic acquisition for Head Coach Joe Harasymiak, who is entering his second season at the helm with the daunting task of rebuilding a roster that finished winless a year ago.
