The Oklahoma Sooners have made yet another addition to their support staff this offseason. OU has hired Abigail O’Connor, who has spent the last eight years with the Michigan Wolverines, as Associate AD, Performance Nutrition for the program.
O’Connor was in a similar role in Ann Arbor, as she rose to Director of Football Performance Nutrition at UM. According to Doug Samuels of FootballScoop.com, O’Connor will “oversee performance nutrition across all sports, with a stated emphasis on continuity of care for student-athletes.”
While with the Wolverines for nearly a decade, O’Connor was part of the Michigan teams that made three straight trips to the College Football Playoff, concluding with a national championship in 2023. She has also worked at Minnesota and Houston.
O’Connor is a Registered Dietitian, a Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics, and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach.
The Sooners will face O’Connor’s old team on the road in Week 2 on September 12th. Oklahoma won in 24-13 last season in Norman.
