Charlie Parkinson is set to join Oklahoma as an assistant director of college scouting, according to NFL analyst Will Parkinson.

Charlie Parkinson has served as a scouting assistant for the Reese's Senior Bowl since August and now reunites with general manager Jim Nagy, who spent seven years as an executive director for the Senior Bowl before his arrival to OU in February. Charlie Parkinson also was a football recruiting and player personnel assistant at Wake Forest University from January 2024 to July 2024. 

The addition of Charlie Parkinson comes as the third change to the front office under Nagy after Taylor Redd joined as an assistant general manager on March 18 and Kale Pearson as director of high school scouting on April 17.
