Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers continue working through a critical offseason in Baton Rouge with significant changes to both the current roster and coaching staff.

On Thursday, Kelly "let go" of Director of Alumni Relations and High School Outreach, Nick Brossette, after being on staff with the program since 2022. WAFB News first reported.

Brosette, a former LSU running back, had been on staff for three seasons working behind-the-scenes for Kelly and Co.

"It has been a dream of mine to come back and work where it all started," Brossette wrote upon receiving the job in 2022.

In his role, Brossette maintained a relationship with the thousands of former LSU football players as well as serving as the staff liaison with high school football coaches. Brossette was also charged with running the annual LSU Coaches Clinic.

Brossette, a Baton Rouge native and a product of University High School, was a four-year letterwinner for the Tigers from 2015-18. He rushed for a career-best 1,003 yards in 2018 helping lead the Tigers to a 10-3 mark and a win in the Fiesta Bowl.

In four years with the Tigers, Brossette appeared in 47 games with 12 starts. He capped his career with 1,350 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns. As a senior in 2018, he was named a permanent team captain and later went on to participate in the East-West Shrine Game.

Brossette spent training camp with the Patriots in 2019, rushing for 200 yards and three touchdowns during the preseason. He was later signed by the Detroit Lions where he was on the practice squad for one season.

Brossette graduated from LSU in August of 2020 with a degree in sports leadership.

Now, Kelly has let Brossette go where he will begin his next chapter elsewhere after a three-year stint on the LSU coaching staff.

It's been an eventful offseason for the LSU program with significant turnover in Baton Rouge.

From coaching staff changes to a new-look roster heading to town, the purple and gold will certainly have a different feel in 2025.
