New Oregon State head football coach Jonathan Smith continues the process of building his staff in Corvallis.

Per a report in the Honolulu Star Advertiser and confirmed to BeaverBlitz by several additional sources, current Hawaii wide receiver coach Kefense Hynson and defensive coordinator Legi Suiaunoa are set to resign from the Rainbow Warriors to take positions on Smith's Oregon State staff.

Sources confirm that Hynson is in fact accepting the wide receiver coaching position at OSU.

Hynson is recognized as one of UH's top recruiters and led a transformation of Hawaii's receiver unit in his two seasons on the Islands.

The Oakland, California native played defensive back for Willamette University in Salem, Oregon, graduating in 2003. He has coached defensive backs, quarterbacks, running backs, and receivers during his career.

Suiaunoa is expected to coach the defensive line for the Beavers. He coached defensive line at Montana when Jonathan Smith was the offensive coordinator for the Griz.

The Oceanside, California native played linebacker for Palomar College and Nevada, graduating in 2002
