Kiefer Price enters his second season overall and first as the offensive coordinator in the fall of 2026. Price joined NSU as the offensive line coach and run game coordinator in the spring of 2025, following a season as an offensive analyst and assistant offensive line coach at McNeese State University.
In the fall of 2025, the Northern State offensive line helped the Wolves rush for 2,538 yards on the year with a 6.59 yards per carry average, while allowing only 12 sacks. The NSU offense tallied six games with over 400 yards of total offense and led the NSIC in total offense per game with a 456.9-yard average. In addition, the Wolves notched six games without giving up a sack. They ranked top 10 in the country in yards per play and total offense per game, and top 5 in third down conversion rate and yards per carry. Northern ranked first in the NSIC in yards per game, yards per carry, and third down conversion rate.
Offensive linemen Daniel Porisch and Matt Ouellette were named to the NSIC All-Conference teams, as well as running back Wyatt Block. Porisch and Block continued their postseason accolades with Block named to the D2CCA All-Region team and Porisch earning AFCA and Don Hansen All-America awards. Porisch was the first offensive lineman All-American for the Wolves since Eric Cuka in 1999 and 2000 and earned the team’s first NSIC offensive line first team nod since 2016.
Northern spent two weeks receiving votes in the AFCA Top 25 Poll and finished the year with a 7-4 record. Two offensive school records were broken in 2025 by Block and Daniel Britt. Block’s 96-yard rushing score in the Wolves win over the University of Mary set the record for longest scoring run, while Britt averaged a school record 7.9 yards per carry.
