Matt Campbell: Head Coach, Penn State Football

The wait is over, and a new era has officially begun in Happy Valley. Matt Campbell has been named the 17th Head Coach of Penn State Football, concluding the program’s dramatic 54-day search.
Pat Kraft’s final selection is a proven program builder known for achieving historic success at Iowa State with far fewer resources than most Power Five peers.
Campbell’s 72-55 record in Ames includes the program’s only 11-win season and the development of NFL stars like Brock Purdy and Breece Hall. His philosophy, which emphasizes High Standards, Fierce Effort, and a “Five-Star Culture,” is viewed as a perfect fit for Penn State’s “Success with Honor” blueprint.
