Marquette, MI – 8/2/17 – The Northern Michigan University Football Team is in rebuilding mode going into the 2017-2018 season with recently hired head coach Kyle Nystrom. Last year the Wildcats season ended in a 3-8 record with attendance at a low point. Nystrom looks to change the culture moving forward by taking baby steps and improving in each area one by one. The 2017 coaches poll came out and ranked the Wildcats at number 9 out 10 in the GLIAC. Kyle Nystrom and his staff look to create stability and great recruiting habits moving forward.
