According to a report from Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, the Seattle Seahawks are expected to hire Jack Dunaway, Michigan Football's assistant director of recruiting. The former Michigan linebacker spent one season under head coach Sherrone Moore in his current role, but will now join head coach Mike Macdonald, a former Michigan defensive coordinator, in Seattle.

According to Zenitz, Dunaway will serve as a scouting assistant in his new role with the Seahawks.
