The past few days, Matt Campbell has been busy finding and hiring off-the-field personnel. Today however, he has finally found some on-the-field help as well.

Per the Penn State directory, the Nittany Lions have named Taylor Mouser as the next offensive coordinator. Mosuer had spent 10 seasons with Campbell and the Cyclones and had been the offensive play caller the past two seasons. This likely means that former offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki will be gone in the next few days.

Mouser has not just been with Campbell during his Iowa State days, but with Campbell when he was at Toledo as well. As early as 2015, Mouser has been a dependable tight ends coach and was a member of Campbell’s scouting department with the Cyclones.

In Mouser’s first season as the offensive coordinator for the Cyclones, they ranked 41st in scoring, 39th in yardage, and 18th in pays of 20 or more yards. The Nittany Lions will hope some of these traits transfer over to their offense, as they have lacked an explosive element downfield for quite some time.

It is important to note that those numbers declined in the 2025 season. Still, with countless resources the Cyclones may not have had now at his disposal with Penn State, Mouser could be able to get this offense clicking.

For now, it is yet another hire for Campbell from the ISU ranks who could turn out to be a major toss-up. But considering the condition the offense was in for large periods this season, Mouser can certainly bring a new look to the Nittany Lions that will cast off some of the failures of Kotelnicki.
