The Eagles announced on Tuesday that they have named Jon Sandusky director of pro personnel and Louis Riddick pro scout.

Sandusky, formerly a pro scout with the Eagles, is in his eighth season with the team. In his new role, the 31-year-old Sandusky will manage the pro scouting department evaluating players among the professional ranks, advance scouting of upcoming opponents and preparing the club for acquisitions through free agency and the waiver wire. In addition, he also assists in the cross check of college players prior to the draft. A native of State College, PA, Sandusky was a safety and special teams player for Penn State from 1996-99. His father, Jerry, is the legendary Penn State defensive coordinator.

A native of Quakertown, PA, Riddick joins the Eagles after a seven-year stint with the Washington Redskins, serving the last three seasons as their director of pro personnel. He joined the Redskins as a pro scout in 2001. In his new role, Riddick will be responsible for evaluating players in the professional ranks, advance scouting of upcoming opponents and preparing the team for acquisitions through free agency and the waiver wire. He will also contribute to the process of scouting players for the draft.

Prior to working for the Redskins, Riddick enjoyed a seven-year career in the NFL as a safety, amassing 172 tackles and two sacks. He joined the league as a ninth-round selection of San Francisco in 1991 and went on to play for Atlanta, Cleveland and Oakland, where he finished his playing career in 1998. Riddick was an All-America selection at Pennridge High School before playing collegiately at Pittsburgh, where he earned All-Big East honors on the field and academic All-America honors for his work in the classroom.
