Jake Landry enters his third season with the Northern Illinois University football team and is in his second season as a graduate assistant coach. After helping Bob Cole and the Huskie quarterbacks as an intern with the Huskies two years ago, Landry returns to coaching quarterbacks this season following a year working with the NIU linebackers in 2014.
Landry came to NIU after spending two seasons as the wide receivers coach at Minnesota-Duluth. He assisted in preparing the offensive game plans and helped coordinate the team’s camps. During his tenure with Minnesota-Duluth, the Bulldogs won two Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference North divisional titles and won 21 games.
A four-year letterwinner at North Dakota, Landry played quarterback for UND, where he started and served as team captain his last two seasons. A native of Grand Forks, N.D., Landry received his bachelor’s degree in communications for North Dakota in 2011 and is pursuing his master’s in sports management at NIU.
