Penn State football has made a significant move by appointing Taylor Mouser as the new offensive play caller, according to the latest updates in the Penn State directory. This decision comes as Coach Matt Campbell, who has a strong bond with Mouser, continues to impact the Nittany Lions program positively.
Mouser brings with him a wealth of experience, having spent a decade collaborating with Campbell at Iowa State. He held the position of offensive coordinator for the Cyclones during the past two seasons and was the tight ends coach for the five years prior. Under his offensive leadership, Iowa State reached a historic milestone last season, finishing with an 11-3 record. This achievement marked the first time the program recorded double-digit victories, along with a spot in the Big 12 Championship game. The Cyclones showcased a powerful offense, averaging over 31 points per game during that successful season.
The timing of this appointment coincides with a staff shakeup at Penn State, as former tight ends coach Ty Howle recently departed to take on the role of offensive coordinator at Virginia Tech. Current offensive coordinator Andy Kotlenicki is also not expected to remain with the team, creating an opportunity for Mouser to implement his offensive strategies and take the program in a new direction.
As Penn State moves forward with Mouser at the helm, there is an air of optimism surrounding the upcoming season, thanks to his track record of success and his deep understanding of the game. The hope is that he can lead the Nittany Lions to new heights as they prepare for the challenges ahead.
