Robinson Returns to Alma Mater as Director of Football Operations

Syracuse head football coach Scott Shafer is bringing 2007 Syracuse graduate Andrew Robinson back to the program as the director of football operations. During his undergraduate career, Robinson worked with the program as a student manager/undergraduate assistant as a freshman and was a student assistant coach for offense from 2005 through 2007.

Robinson will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the program, including the overall management of the football budget, team travel, bowl game coordination, and The Scott Shafer Football Camps. In addition, he is responsible for game day management, the coordination and planning of team events and special projects related to the football program.

"Drew has a passion to be back at his alma mater and working in our football program," said head coach Scott Shafer. "He brings a great work ethic. It is terrific to welcome back Drew Robinson."

Robinson handled many roles at Rutgers, including as assistant athletic director for creative & fan experience since July 2014. He was responsible for the implementation of the digital and creative marketing plans while overseeing the creative services department. From 2012 to 2014, Robinson served as the director of branding & social media. In that role he was charged with maintaining the brand identity for the Rutgers football and men's and women's basketball teams.

In October 2009, Robinson left college athletics to become the high school partnerships manager for MSG Varsity/Cablevision, Inc. He began as an outreach coordinator before being promoted to partnership manager in January 2010. As partnership manager, he managed relationships with 40 high schools in Cablevision's three million household footprint, while assisting in content creation and overall brand management of the network.

Robinson began his career in intercollegiate athletics as the football operations assistant in 2007. After six months in that role, he was promoted to assistant director of recruiting. As an operations assistant, Robinson was responsible for planning and coordinating home and away game travel while serving as the liaison between Rutgers football and the NFL.

"It's very special to be returning to my alma mater as the director of football operations to work with a coach who has the integrity and passion that Coach Scott Shafer has shown," Robinson said. "My four years at Syracuse and with the Orange Football program laid the foundation for this opportunity. I am excited to be coming home."

A native of Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, Robinson earned his bachelor's degree in policy studies with a minor in political science .
