Jay Lozano joined head coach Tony Skinn's staff in 2023 and was promoted to assistant director of basketball operations in September 2025.
 
Most recently, Lozano worked as a graduate assistant for the Patriots during the team's record-breaking 2024-25 campaign before moving up to his current operations role.
 
"Jay has done a phenomenal job over the last two years and I'm so grateful we are able to expand his role with the program," Skinn said. He's one of the hardest working individuals I've been around, but most importantly, he's an elite human being. When Jay walks into the room, everybody smiles. That's the type of person you want representing your institution."
 
While serving as a graduate assistant with the Patriots, Lozano oversaw the undergraduate student manager staff while assisting with equipment, travel, recruiting and business operations. He also acted as a liaison for alumni and donor relations for the program.
 
Lozano came to George Mason from Xavier University, where he served as the head student managers for the Musketeers' women's basketball program and also worked as a camp instructor with the men's program.
 
Lozano graduated from Xavier in May 2023 and played for the Musketeers' club golf team. He earned his Master's Degree from George Mason this past May.
 
In addition to his team roles, Lozano also has worked as a basketball operations intern for The Basketball Tournament (TBT), a Hoop Group Jam Fest Tournament Operations Associate and a camp instructor for Stanford Men's and Women's Basketball.  
 
Lozano is a native of San Jose, California.
