CBS Sports ranks Michigan's Sean Magee among top college football executives
Wolverines fans doubted the strategy of the team in many ways more than halfway through last season, in terms of recruiting and building out the future of the program. Then, Bryce Underwood, Elijah Dotson, Nate Marshall, Jordan Young, and Ty Haywood committed. And, to boot, Justice Haynes left Alabama for Ann Arbor -- a stunning coup given his ability as a standout running back. Then, fans were ecstatic and understood exactly why immediate results earlier in the year weren't feasible. Because general manager Sean Magee was plotting and planning. Magee came aboard for his second stint with Michigan football after Sherrone Moore was hired as the head coach, and he masterfully made move after move. Even when fans got a little antsy when the 2026 recruiting class appeared to be languishing behind some of the field, after the month of June, it became clear that Magee still knew what he was doing. CBS Sports put together a list of the 21 best college football executives, and Magee was one of a select few who made the cut. Sean Magee, Michigan Associate AD for football and general manager Magee landed the coup of the 2025 recruiting class when he orchestrated the flip of No. 1 overall recruit Bryce Underwood from LSU. He has one of the most unique backgrounds in the space as a former Navy offensive lineman, Surface Warfare Officer and former chief of staff for the Chicago Bears. (...) NIL attorneys and agents who have worked with Magee praise his intellect and ability to navigate potentially difficult negotiations. His arrival in Ann Arbor signaled a shift in Michigan's approach, showing a greater willingness to be aggressive in NIL efforts to land top talent such as quarterback Bryce Underwood and five-star offensive tackle Andrew Babalola. NIL, essentially, didn't exist in Ann Arbor before Magee's arrival. And though there are always numbers bandied about for certain players (like Underwood), Michigan insists that they're not always accurate. "First of all, there's this random number that people throw out that they think Bryce got, which I don't know where they got it from, but good for them," Sherrone Moore said at Big Ten media days. "Bryce knows that. The conversation I have with Bryce is that, 'Bryce, you come here, I'm not giving you anything. You have to go earn it.' Verbatim out of his mouth, 'I would want it no other way.'" Surely, it was still a move made possible by NIL, and with Magee connecting with Larry and Jolin Ellison to make that recruitment possible after it was dead on arrival shows that much more of his prowess behind the scenes. While there might not be any big, marquee transfers outside of Haynes, many appear to be flying under the radar, like wide receivers Donaven McCulley and Anthony Simpson. And, with a year under his belt, it will be interesting to see how he continues to modernize the football department from the inside.
