He then played two years at Mt. Hood Community College, where he earned first-team All-Conference honors, before joining George Horton's program as a player at Oregon in 2009. He joined the coaching staff under Horton after the 2009 season. Hogan was the Assistant Coach under Bryson LeBlanc for the 2010 and 2011 seasons.
