According to the report, Winslow will be introduced on Wednesday. Winslow replaces interim athletic director Michael Smith, who was on the job for 10 months.
Smith had replaced Derek Horne, who was fired last June after three years. During Horne's tenure, the school went through a hazing scandal involving the Marching 100 band.
