The Falcons announced the hire of two women to the team’s scouting staff with the additions of Rushell Harvey and Kjahna O on Monday.

Harvey joins the Falcons after spending the past year as the on-campus recruiting coordinator at Tulane University where she managed all aspects of on-campus and game day recruiting visits. She also served as a football recruiting intern at the University of Houston in 2018 and at LSU in 2017. Harvey received her Bachelor of Science in Sport Administration from LSU, where she was a three-time first-team Track and Field All-American.
