KM Graduate and Laser Football Alum, David Braun named interim head coach at Northwestern University! After graduation from Kettle Moraine, Braun attended Winona State where he ruled their defensive line. He coached for that team for a time then landed at North Dakota State where he contributed to two national titles. Braun was brought on as Northwestern’s defensive coordinator in January and was elevated to interim head coach rather quickly. “I dreamt of playing in the Big Ten," said Braun. "That never became a reality. But the opportunity to coach in the Big Ten and coach and mentor these young men is something that I don’t take lightly.” Congratulations David, we are #KM Proud!
