Dec. 9, 2014 SALT LAKE CITY--

Kyle Brennan, a member of Utah's administrative staff since 2008, has been appointed the school's first deputy athletics director, Utah Director of Athletics Dr. Chris Hill announced today.

Brennan has served as the senior associate A.D. for administration since 2012. He is the supervising administrator for six departments and the administrative liaison/supervisor for several sports. He also manages new facility projects and oversees the athletic department's partnership with Under Armour.

"The responsibilities involved with the administration of our athletics department have increased significantly in the past few years and Kyle Brennan has taken on many of those. His assistance has allowed me to better lead our athletics department in its continued growth as a member of the Pac-12 Conference. His involvement in these areas has greatly enhanced our programs."

Hill said that in addition to Brennan's current duties, he will represent Utah at various Pac-12 and NCAA meetings.

Brennan supervises the compliance department, facility operations, event management, equipment, human resources, and football strength and conditioning. He is the sport liaison for the football and men's and women's basketball teams, and is the sport supervisor for the men's and women's swimming and diving, and men's and women's tennis teams. He previously held the same role with the men's golf team.

As the chief administrator over new facility projects, Brennan chaired the department's five-year strategic planning committee and has played a key supervisory role in the construction of the Spence and Cleone Eccles Football Center (opened in August of 2013), as well as the men's and women's basketball practice facility and the outdoor tennis courts currently under construction.

The Washington native was hired in 2008 as Utah's assistant athletics director for compliance and was named associate A.D. for compliance in 2009. In 2011, he was promoted to special assistant to the athletics director, and in 2012, he was named senior associate A.D. for administration.

Before joining the Utah athletics staff, Brennan was the director of compliance at TCU (2005-06) and Ball State (2006-08). He was an estate planning attorney in Denver before entering the field of athletics compliance as a graduate assistant at Northern Illinois in 2004-05.

Brennan graduated with a bachelor's degree in political science from Calvin College and earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Denver in 2001.

He and his wife Beth--the academic coordinator for Utah's football team--have three sons: Patrick, Mac and Murphy.
