Wozniak named Oregon State tight ends coach

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Brian Wozniak, who has been a part of the Oregon State football staff the last four years, has been elevated to tight ends coach, Beaver head coach Jonathan Smith announced on Tuesday.

The appointment is contingent on the completion of all university hiring processes.
