​"Both Leslie and Kyle are valuable additions to our administrative team," said Interim Director of Athletics Jeff Mitchell. "I am thrilled that they are joining Santa Clara at this exciting time for the University.  Leslie is a tried and true Bronco with deep ties to our community.  Her passion for student-athlete development will enable her to grow the leadership training component of our student-athlete experience. Kyle will strengthen our compliance office and provide consistent and dedicated legal and regulatory leadership to continue our impressive compliance record.  Our department and sports programs will move confidently in our future pursuits behind Kyle's thoughtful and thorough guidance."

"I am very honored and excited to serve as one of the Assistant Athletic Directors here," said Osborne. "My time here as a student-athlete was truly remarkable and the professors, athletics administration, teammates, and coaches helped shaped me in to the person and leader I am today. I am looking forward to working closely with our student-athletes and coaches to help them be the best teams and individuals they can be."

"Sports, particularly college sports, have long been a passion of mine," said Eisenmann.  "Given my legal education and experience in the field of compliance, albeit dealing with federal laws and regulations, NCAA compliance was of immense interest. Santa Clara provided me with the opportunity to dive right into the world of NCAA compliance. It is an exciting time for Santa Clara athletics.  I am thrilled, and incredibly thankful, to be part of an athletic department primed to return to the stage of national prominence."​
