Marcie Johnston returns to football program; Kelsea Winkle moves into full-time recruiting position
FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Colorado State head football coach Mike Bobo has announced the additions of Marcie Johnston and Kelsea Winkle to the Rams football support staff.
Johnston returns to the program as director of football administration. She first joined the CSU athletics department in December of 1997, and has worked with the football and women's basketball programs in a variety of roles since. Most recently she served as director of operations for the women's basketball program from 2016-18. Johnston previously served as an assistant to Bobo from 2015-16, and also worked under head coaches Sonny Lubick, Steve Fairchild and Jim McElwain.
"Marcie's role is very important to the overall operation of our football program, and she is a tremendous asset in everything we do," Bobo said. "I'm thankful she was able to return to the football program to provide organization and direction that will help us in all aspects of our program. The experience she gained as the operations director for women's basketball added an important dimension to her skill-set that will benefit our program immensely."
Winkle will be the Rams' new director of recruiting. She was a recruiting intern for the CSU football program from 2014-17, and graduated from CSU in May 2018 with a double major in hospitality management and communication studies. As a recruiting intern, her duties consisted of helping coordinate on-campus recruiting events, including unofficial and official visits, facilities tours and more. She also gained valuable athletics experience interning in the front office with the Tacoma Rainiers triple-A baseball club (2017) and the Colorado Eagles ECHL team (2014-15), as well as working as the director of marketing and promotions & assistant to the general manager Anchorage Glacier Pilots baseball club.
"Kelsea has earned this opportunity, and we're thrilled to have a recent Colorado State graduate join our staff in a full-time position," Bobo said. "She takes great pride in being a Ram, and she has gained valuable experience working in our program for the past three years, learning all aspects of our recruiting operations."
