JUNE 3. GIANTS CONTINUE TO TWEAK SCOUTING DEPARTMENT. The New York Giants have some additional newcomers to their scouting department.

The team added Drew House as a scouting assistant. According to his LinkedIn profile, House, before joining the Giants this month, spent two seasons at the University of Oregon, where he served as the Director of College Scouting, a role he held for five months after being promoted from the school’s Assistant Director of Player Personnel.

House was previously a football operations intern with the Buffalo Bills during the summers of 2023 and 2024.

The Giants also promoted Isaiah Wingfield from scouting assistant to Southwest BLESTO scout.  

Wingfield, who attended Harvard University as an economics major and later pursued an MBA at Wake Forest’s School of Business, is a former college defensive back. 

He previously interned for The 33rd Team while attending Wake Forest. He joined the Giants in June 2023.

JUNE 2. GIANTS TO HIRE NEW ASSISTANT SCOUT. The New York Giants have made some post-draft tweaks to their player personnel department, and one more move is coming.

Matt Zenitz of 247Sports reported that the Giants are hiring Tommy Pernetti, a move that Pernetti confirmed on his social media account.

Pernettti joined the Ole Miss Rebels as a college scouting coordinator in March 2024, a role he held for 13 months. He was promoted in March 2025 to the position of Assistant Director of Player Personnel for College Scouting.

Pernetti is a 2023 graduate of the University of Miami who, before joining the Rebels, spent one season each as a player personnel assistant at Texas and at his alma mater, where he served as a part-time player personnel and recruiting assistant. 

JUNE 2. GIANTS THIRD-ROUND DRAFT PICK DARIUS ALEXANDER INKS ROOKIE DEAL. New York Giants rookie defensive lineman Darius Alexander has signed his rookie contract after the team concluded its fourth OTA on Monday, the team announced.

Alexander, 6-foot-4 and 305 pounds out of the University of Toledo was the first pick in the third round of this year’s draft, No. 65 overall. According to Over the Cap, Alexander’s deal is for our years and is estimated to be worth $6.762 million, which includes a $1.557 million signing bonus.

Alexander, who will compete for a starting spot on the Giants defensive line alongside all-world nose tackle Dexter Lawrence, will count for $1.229 million against this year’s cap. This figure includes a base salary of $840,000.

Alexander’s remaining cap hits are $1.536 million (2026), $1.844 million (2027), and $2.151 million (2028).

Alexander becomes the sixth member of the Giants’ seven-man draft class to sign. Running back Cam Skattebo, the team’s fourth-round pick, remains the only one unsigned.
