Seahawks Hire Alonzo Highsmith As Full-Time Personnel Executive

Brady Henderson of ESPN reports that the Seahawks have hired Alonzo Highsmith as a full-time member of their scouting department.

According to Henderson, the Seahawks’ website lists Highsmith as a personnel executive.

Back in February, the Seahawks hired Highsmith as a draft consultant along with Eliot Wolf. Both Wolf and Highsmith have ties to Seahawks GM John Schneider from their time together with the Packers several years ago.

Highsmith, 54, is a former first-round pick of the Houston Oilers back in 1987. He also played for the Cowboys and Buccaneers over his seven-year career.

Highsmith was hired by the Packers back in 2012 and has been working as their Senior Personnel Executive before departing to become the Browns VP of player personnel for the 2018 season. 

Highsmith parted ways with the Browns shortly after they hired Andrew Berry as their new GM.
