SOUTHFIELD, Mich. - Lawrence Tech University has announced the appointment of Oscar Olejniczak as the new Head Coach for its football program, the Blue Devils. Starting from February 17, 2025, Olejniczak, who has a robust background in coaching at both the collegiate and high school levels, will commence his role at the university.

Oscar Olejniczak brings a wealth of experience to Lawrence Tech, having served in assistant coaching roles at Michigan State, Wayne State, and Campbell universities. His coaching career also includes significant achievements in high school football within the Catholic League, guiding teams from Detroit U-D Jesuit and Royal Oak Shrine to success.
