LAKELAND, Fla. – Florida Southern College Director of Athletics & Dean of Wellness Drew Howard announced the appointment of Brandon Parramore to the Director of Esports position at FSC. Parramore joins Florida Southern after a year as the head coach at the University of Montevallo.
 
While at UM, Parramore oversaw a program that featured over 35 student-athletes and competed in League of Legends, Overwatch, Valorant and Rocket League. Prior to taking over the Esports role, Parramore spent a year and a half as an assistant swim coach and recruiting coordinator at UM. He helped guide the UM men's swimming team to a 3.30 GPA while also recruiting the future Falcon swimmers.
 
"I am extremely excited to join the Moccasin family as the Director of Esports this coming fall," said Parramore. "I have followed this team since its conception and have always had my eye on being a part of the program and it is an honor to carry the mantle of Director. I look forward to bringing a new twist to the program while also carrying on the winning traditions that Adam Antor and his predecessors established before me. Go Mocs!"

Parramore, a native of Gainesville, Fla., saw his younger brother Dylan matriculate through the FSC Esports program and saw a future in Esports for himself. Dylan spent four years as a member of the Esports program at Florida Southern and gave Brandon the idea of taking his love for Esports and two college degrees to make his way into the collegiate Esports field. After a year with the Montevallo Esports program, he is now ready to lead his home state program here at Florida Southern.
 
He will be taking over a program which program has captured a pair of Peach Belt Conference titles, winning the PBC Rocket League title in the Fall of 2022 before claiming the PBC League of Legends title in 2023.
