Penn State football is bringing in former Iowa State running backs coach Jake Landry as an offensive analyst, per 247Sports’ Tyler Donohue.

Unlike many who are following Matt Campbell from Iowa State, Landry only worked with Campbell for one year in 2025. Prior to that, he had extensive experience working in different offensive roles across college football.

After graduating from North Dakota in 2010, the former FCS quarterback became a graduate assistant at Minnesota-Duluth in 2011 before going from intern to graduate assistant at Northern Illinois from 2013-15. He got his first job as an offensive coordinator for Division III Wisconsin-La Crosse in 2016 before returning to Northern Illinois to become the running backs coach in 2018.

He served as an offensive analyst and later quarterbacks coach for Temple from 2019-21, following Rod Carey from Northern Illinois. After Carey was fired, Landry became the offensive coordinator at FCS St. Thomas before taking the same job at North Dakota State in 2024.

Landry led a prolific Bison offense to an FCS national championship in 2024, led by quarterback Cam Miller, who went in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Campbell hired him to coach the running backs at Iowa State in 2025, and he’ll be arriving alongside Iowa State’s leading running back, Carson Hansen, who announced his intentions to transfer to Penn State earlier this month.
