Biography

This research uses college football as a case study to explore the complex interactions between social networks and recruitment. I examine the impact of athletes’ Twitter connections and content on three recruiting outcomes: offers, commitments, and decommitments. This work can benefit athletes and coaches, but will also be of interest outside the sports world. I explore whether effects observed in offline networks are supported in the online sphere, presenting a unique contribution to the organizational network analysis literature.
