The former Ohio State linebacker had been in Foxborough since 2016.

The director of college scouting for the New England Patriots will be moving on to Mile High.

The Denver Broncos have hired Camren Williams as co-director of player personnel following a recent interview, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Tuesday.

News of the parting of ways after nine seasons in Foxborough was first reported by Joseph Pasteris and MassLive’s Mark Daniels.

Williams, a former Ohio State linebacker and national champion whose Buckeyes career spanned 50 games, had been hired by the Patriots in 2016. After setting out as a scouting assistant, he went on to spend three campaigns as an area scout and one campaign as a national scout.

A promotion to director of college scouting arrived in 2022. And from Bill Belichick to Jerod Mayo to Mike Vrabel at head coach, that position would be held for three years and up through April’s NFL draft.

The Easton, Mass., native is the son of Patriots All-1990s selection Brent Williams and the brother of ex-NFL offensive lineman Brennan Williams, who made a stop on New England’s practice squad in 2015.

Last week, the organization added A.J. Highsmith as director of pro scouting, filling a role that had previously been in the hands of Pat Stewart.
