In a move that has sent shockwaves of excitement through the Penn State faithful, highly respected coach Kalen DeBoer has been announced as the program’s new head coach. DeBoer’s hiring marks a pivotal moment for Penn State Football, as he brings a wealth of experience and success to the Nittany Lion sidelines.
After a national search that spanned several weeks, athletic director Pat Kraft revealed DeBoer as the program’s top choice. Kraft praised DeBoer’s impressive coaching pedigree, saying: “Kalen DeBoer is an exceptional coach who possesses a unique blend of experience, passion, and leadership qualities. We are thrilled to welcome him to the Penn State family and look forward to the impact he will make on our program.”
DeBoer, a 45-year-old native of Montana, has built a reputation as one of the most respected coaches in the country. Prior to his appointment at Penn State, DeBoer served as the head coach at the University of Washington, leading the Huskies to a 12-2 record in 2022 and a Rose Bowl victory. His teams have consistently featured high-powered offenses, and his ability to connect with players and motivate them to succeed has earned him numerous accolades.
“Kalen DeBoer is an exceptional coach who embodies the values of Penn State Football,” said Nittany Lion quarterback Drew Allar. “We are all excited to work with him and learn from his vast experience. I know that his passion and leadership will propel us to new heights on the field.”
DeBoer’s arrival at Penn State marks a new era for the program, which has been searching for a head coach to succeed James Franklin. While Franklin was a highly successful coach, DeBoer’s appointment brings an infusion of fresh energy and ideas to the program.
As the Nittany Lions look to build on their rich tradition of excellence, DeBoer’s experience and expertise will be instrumental in driving the program forward.
