Former Gamecocks Recruiting Coordinator Preston Tiffany Joins Philadelphia Eagles Front Office
June 13, 2025 — Preston Tiffany, a rising name in football talent evaluation and collegiate recruiting, has taken a significant step in his professional career. The former University of South Carolina recruiting coordinator has officially joined the front office of the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles.
Tiffany, known for his keen eye for talent and ability to build relationships with high school prospects and their families, will now transition to a new role at the professional level. Though the Eagles have not yet released an official title, sources close to the team confirm that Tiffany will serve in a player personnel and scouting capacity, focusing on collegiate talent evaluation and draft preparation.
During his tenure with the South Carolina Gamecocks, Tiffany helped revamp the program’s recruiting efforts. Working under head coach Shane Beamer, he played a key role in attracting top-tier talent to Columbia, especially in the competitive Southeastern Conference (SEC). His contributions were most evident in the 2023 and 2024 recruiting classes, both of which were ranked among the top 20 nationally.
Tiffany’s approach combined traditional in-person scouting with cutting-edge digital analytics and social media engagement—methods that resonated well with recruits and their families. He was also instrumental in expanding the Gamecocks’ recruiting footprint beyond the southeastern U.S., helping the team secure commitments from prospects in Texas, California, and the Midwest.
In a statement posted to his social media accounts earlier this week, Tiffany expressed both gratitude and excitement:
“I want to thank Coach Beamer and the entire South Carolina family for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to grow as a professional. My time in Columbia was unforgettable, and I will always cherish the relationships and memories. Now, I’m beyond thrilled to be joining one of the most respected organizations in the NFL. The Philadelphia Eagles represent excellence, and I’m ready to get to work.”
Tiffany’s move to the NFL highlights a broader trend of college football recruiting specialists transitioning to professional scouting and front-office roles. As the league continues to place greater emphasis on data-driven evaluation and holistic player profiles—including character, social media presence, and off-field behavior—Tiffany’s skillset appears well-suited to the evolving demands of the NFL.
Industry insiders have noted that the Eagles’ front office, led by General Manager Howie Roseman, has increasingly looked to diversify its personnel by bringing in individuals with strong college recruiting backgrounds. This not only aids in better evaluating draft prospects but also helps in building stronger pipelines to college programs across the country.
For the Gamecocks, Tiffany’s departure will be a notable loss, though sources indicate the program had some advance notice and is already in the process of identifying a replacement. Still, his exit is a testament to the reputation he built in Columbia and the professional respect he has garnered in a relatively short period of time.
As Preston Tiffany begins his new chapter in Philadelphia, both the Eagles and the broader football community will be watching closely. His story reflects not only personal ambition and growth but also the increasingly interconnected worlds of college and professional football.
