Eagles hire 'rising star' LSU director of player personnel for Director of College Scouting

Philadelphia, PA – June 12, 2025

The Philadelphia Eagles have bolstered their front office, hiring LSU director of player personnel Preston Tiffany as Director of College Scouting, sources told CBS Sports. Dubbed a “rising star” in college personnel, Tiffany aims to reshape Philly’s draft strategy.

Tiffany, 27, brings a robust resume from his time at South Carolina (2018-2020), Ole Miss (2020-2024), and LSU (2024-2025). His key role in Ole Miss’ record-setting 11-win 2023 season, capped by a Peach Bowl victory over Penn State, showcases his talent-spotting prowess, per Matt Zenitz.

As Director of College Scouting, Tiffany will lead the Eagles’ evaluation of NCAA prospects, leveraging his SEC network to target stars like Alabama’s Ryan Williams, per Yellowhammer News. His hire fills a gap left by departing executives, per Bleeding Green Nation.

GM Howie Roseman, with $30 million in 2026 cap space and 13 draft picks, sees Tiffany as a cornerstone for future drafts, echoing his 2021 trade-up for DeVonta Smith, per The Athletic. “Preston’s vision aligns with our championship goals,” Roseman said, per ESPN.

Tiffany’s economics degree from South Carolina and MBA from Ole Miss equip him to blend analytics with scouting. His LSU stint honed his ability to build elite rosters, per Spotrac, positioning him to scout for Philly’s Super Bowl LX chase.

Fans on X buzzed: “Tiffany’s a Howie masterstroke!” (@EaglesNation). Others cautioned: “Big shoes to fill!” (@PhillyFanatic). His SEC expertise could land the next Saquon Barkley, per PhillyVoice.

The Eagles, fresh off a Super Bowl LIX rout of Kansas City, aim to sustain their dynasty. Tiffany’s appointment signals Roseman’s long-term vision, per NBC Sports Philadelphia.
