"J has an impressive record at several Power 5 schools and an impeccable reputation as a strong and innovative leader," Guskiewicz said. "He will bring experience, excitement and a commitment to elevating Spartan athletics to the next level. We are thrilled to have J join our leadership team at Michigan State."
