In his post, Wojnarowski wrote that he "grew up the son of a factory worker two miles from ESPN's campus and only ever dreamed of making a living as a sportswriter."
And he worked tirelessly to make that dream a reality. Wojnarowski worked for a number of publications and was twice-named "Columnist of the Year" by the Associated Press Sports Editors before joining Yahoo! Sports in 2007. In 2017, he became an official NBA insider at ESPN.
Wojnarowski shared in his post, "The past seven years at ESPN have been a particular privilege. I'm appreciative of the company's leadership - especially Jimmy Pitaro and Cristina Daglas - for the understanding and acceptance of my decision to make a life change." He then revealed, "After all these years reporting on everyone else's teams, I'm headed back to my own."
The next phase of the revered sports journalist's career will be with his alma mater St. Bonaventure, where he graduated from the western New York school's Jandoli School of Communication in 1991. He is taking over as general manager for the men's basketball program.
In an article shared to the school's website, Wojnarowski said he is "thrilled and humbled to return to St. Bonaventure with an opportunity to serve the university, Coach Mark Schmidt and our elite Atlantic 10 men's basketball program."
"In these changing times of college sports, I'm eager to join a championship program that combines high-level basketball, national television exposure, pro preparation and NIL opportunities with an intimate, supportive educational environment," Wojnarowski said.
