Scott Cochran Adds Another Crimson Tide Product to West Alabama Staff: Roll Call, March 20, 2025

Former Alabama strength and conditioning coach Scott Cochran became the next head coach for the University of West Alabama this offseason. Since his arrival, he's hired numerous Crimson Tide products to his coaching staff and that continued on Wednesday.

Cochran named former Alabama linebacker Reggie Ragland as UWA's director of player personnel. Ragland becomes the sixth former Alabama player on Cochran’s staff, as he joins Blake Sims, Bo Scarbrough, OJ Howard and more.

"Reggie Ragland is a proven leader with a championship mentality, and we couldn't be more excited to have him join the UWA family as our director of player personnel," Cochran said in a press release. "As a Super Bowl champion and former SEC Defensive Player of the Year, he knows exactly what it takes to compete and win at the highest levels.

"Reggie's experience, passion for the game, and ability to connect with young athletes will be instrumental in recruiting top talent to our program. We know he will make an immediate impact in shaping the future of UWA Football."
