USC’s Mike Bohn was named the 2021-22 FBS Athletic Director of the Year on Tuesday by the NACDA, the first Trojan AD to earn the honor.

Under Bohn, USC won three NCAA team championships – women’s track and field, women’s water polo and women’s beach volleyball – while the athletic department posted its highest-ever graduation success rate (92%).

Bohn also orchestrated the headline-grabbing hire of Lincoln Riley to lead the USC football program after a successful stint as head coach at Oklahoma. USC extended men’s basketball head coach Andy Enfield following the program’s first Elite Eight run in 20 years and also hired Cleveland Cavaliers assistant Lindsay Gottlieb as the women’s basketball head coach.

“Whenever a leader is recognized, it is a reflection of the entire organization and the dedicated people within it,” Bohn said in a statement. “It is a blessing to be on a team at USC that has made incredible impact and enacted meaningful change during the most transformative period in the history of college athletics.”
