According to Sports Illustrated, new Michigan State head coach Jonathan Smith has brought half his Oregon State coaching staff with him to East Lansing and former Loveland High School standout Brian Wozniak is one of them.

• As reported by Sports Illustrated, "Wozniak started at Oregon State as a graduate assistant in 2015 and worked his way up to tight ends coach in 2018 when Smith was hired there. Growing up in Loveland, Ohio (outside of Cincinnati) Wozniak played four years at Wisconsin from 2010-13. During his time in Corvallis, Wozniak coached three future NFL tight ends with the Beavers, two of whom were drafted. In 2023, Oregon State tight end Luke Musgrave was drafted in the second round by the Green Bay Packers, eight spots ahead of former Michigan State wide receiver Jayden Reed. Wozniak has developed three-star recruits into NFL talent, and with his Ohio roots he should be able to land and develop local high school talent."

"Brian Wozniak will be a very valuable asset to the Michigan State football program due to his Midwest roots," said his former Loveland coach Andrew Marlett. "Woz was an outstanding high school football player at Loveland High School in Cincinnati Ohio and at the University of Wisconsin. He has already proven himself to be an excellent recruiter and a developer of talent. He's a rising star and will have a major impact on the Spartan football program." Marlett was once Wisconsin's head of football recruiting efforts and was a three-time all-Mid-American Conference pick as a defensive lineman, a high school coach in Ohio for more than two decades, and has coached at the college level.

At Oregon State, Wozniak was the Tight Ends Coach and Recruiting Coordinator.
