Brian Jozwiak
Brian
Jozwiak will forever be known as one of the most dominating offensive
linemen in school history. In 1985 alone, Jozwiak was tabbed as an
All-American by five different sources.
He was only the fourth consensus All-American in school history and one
of only six Mountaineers to be selected in the first round of the NFL
Draft. He was also named a second team All-American by the Associated
Press in 1983.
During his tenure on the offensive line, No. 77 guided the Mountaineers
to a 33-13-1 record and three Bowl appearances. Jozwiak was originally
recruited as a defensive lineman, but made the switch in 1983.
A member of WVU's 1980-89 all-time team, Jozwiak was drafted with the
seventh pick in the first round of the 1986 NFL draft by the Kansas City
Chiefs and played for three seasons before injury forced him to retire.
Off the field, Jozwiak was heavily involved with charity work in
Morgantown during his days as a Mountaineer. Among the charities he was
involved with were Special Olympics, March of Dimes, Easter Seals and the
WVU Children's Hospital.
From 1991-98, Jozwiak was the offensive line and strength coach at West
Virginia Wesleyan and also taught physical education. Currently, Jozwiak
is the assistant head football coach at Winter Haven High School in Winter
Haven, Fla. He is also the school's strength coach and teaches an
alternative education program for students who have a high risk of
dropping out of school.
