Iowa State announced Tuesday the hiring of Eric Kohr as assistant director of scouting and recruiting operations.

Kohr was most recently at Ohio University, where he was director of player personnel and high school relations. He was on the staff that helped Ohio win the MAC East division with a 6-2 conference record in 2016.

Before then, Kohr was a recruiting assistant at Ohio from 2014 to 2015 and spent a brief time at Maryland as a recruiting analyst. Kohr was a volunteer recruiting assistant for Towson in 2014.

“Eric is a dynamic young guy. Eric is a jack of all trades,” coach Matt Campbell said in a statement. “He is knowledgeable in recruiting, video, and he’s done almost every job there is. We are adding another young guy into our recruiting department that can really help us with identifying the best student-athletes to bring to Iowa State.”

Kohr also has experience working in the NFL, as he was part of the video team for the Detroit Lions from 2013 to 2014.
