Fairleigh Dickinson is slated to name Jason Young as its next AD, a source told Sports Business Journal. Young most recently served as assistant VP and deputy AD at FDU, where he oversaw marketing, media relations and the business offices. He also worked as the sport administrator for baseball, men’s basketball, women’s volleyball, women’s fencing, women’s lacrosse and cheerleading.
More recently, Young was instrumental in FDU’s landmark agreement as the first school in the U.S. to partner with Italian outfitter Macron as its apparel provider. His time at the school also coincided with the men’s basketball program’s historic upset of No. 1 seed Purdue in 2023.
Young replaces Brad Hurlbut, who announced his retirement last week. Hurlbut had served as the AD at FDU for the past seven years. He had previously spent the bulk of his career at Northwestern, where he worked in varying roles over almost two decades.
