Can’t say enough about the 2023 Knights. I love every guy on this team and it has been hard to put into words this past week, but here goes…#theonlywayweknow
Proud of our seniors and their accomplishments the last 4 years as Wartburg Knights. 36 wins (30 over the last 3 season), 3-peat Conference Champions (the final IIAC Championship and the 1st 2 A-R-C Championships), 6 playoff games, 3 playoff wins, and an Elite 8 appearance!
Extremely proud of our seniors! Today’s dominant senior day win gives them a career record of 22 - 1 at Walston-Hoover Stadium! Also secured our 28th consecutive winning season! 3rd longest streak in the country at any level!
Thanks to this group of seniors for upholding the standard and tradition that is Wartburg Football. 39 - 7 record, 2 IIAC Titles, and great examples of what it takes to BE ELITE. Thanks for the memories boys!
Wartburg Football wouldn’t be where it is today without the leadership of Coach Willis! He built a foundation of Team and Toughness and is the definition of Humble, Hungry, and Smart! #Mentor#PhysicalFootball
Awesome to see @Coach_Tschetter getting recognition for what our defense accomplished this season! He deserves a ton of credit along with our DL Coach @Ant_Vela_. Great coaches and great people!

Sweet 16 victory over St. John’s in 2014. Celebration after @CoachKooi28 and @CoachCapitani combined to make a huge play in one of the best wins in Wartburg Football history! Not so recent but one of my favorites!

Wartburg College is a place I have called “home” for the past 18 years. As a student from 2000 - 2004 and as a coach from 2005 - now. Many of the buildings and faces have changed over the years, but the environment created on Wartburg’s campus will always feel like “home” to me!
