Sam Rall returned to Northwestern's football staff in March of 2020 after previously being on staff in 2016. He will be serving as a graduate assistant and work specifically with quarterbacks.
"The experience that I had here as a student and as an athlete have shaped my entire life," said Rall. "To be in a place where you can emphasize Christ as the center of everything is one of the main reasons that I pursued the opportunity to coach at NWC. I want to be as Christ-like as possible as a leader and as a coach, and the best way to do that is in an environment that allows me to have Him at the center of everything we do."
Prior to joining the staff at Northwestern Rall served for three and a half years in the United States Army. His coaching experience includes a stint on staff at Northwestern in 2016, and multiple years of coaching high school baseball.Â
Rall is a Northwestern College graduate (2015) where he received a history degree. He is currently pursuing a Masters of Education degree from Northwestern. While at Northwestern, Rall played one year of baseball in addition to his football playing career. He earned all-conference honors once for football.Â
His favorite verse is Matthew 20:26-28, "It references the ideology of servant leadership, and shapes the philosophy that I have tried to emulate as a coach," said Rall. "Lead as a servant. Choose to serve, not be served."
Rall is still currently serving in the South Dakota National Guard.Â
