May 1, 2025 – Nashville, TN
In a bold and strategic move, the Tennessee Titans have hired Billy Glasscock, one of college football’s most respected player personnel minds, as their new Director of Player Personnel — a role that will play a pivotal part in shaping the future of the franchise.
Glasscock, who most recently served as the General Manager of Player Personnel for the Texas Longhorns, is widely regarded as a pioneer in modern roster management and talent evaluation at the college level. His transition to the NFL is seen as a groundbreaking step, not just for him, but for the evolving pipeline of front office talent moving from college football to the pros.
Titans Make a Statement on Their Vision
Titans GM Ran Carthon announced the hire earlier today, describing Glasscock as “a game-changer with a deep understanding of roster dynamics, long-term development strategy, and cutting-edge scouting methodology.”
“Billy has been ahead of the curve in how talent is identified, developed, and retained — especially in the age of NIL and the transfer portal,” Carthon added. “That kind of forward-thinking mindset is exactly what we need as we build a sustainable contender here in Tennessee.”

Glasscock has built an elite résumé in college football, working at programs like:
•Texas Longhorns – as GM, helped guide them to playoff contention through elite roster building.

•Oversee scouting and roster development strategy
