The 2025 season will be the first year on staff for coach Josh De Luca, who will serve as the Vikings' Offensive Line Coach.

Josh De Luca will bolster Coach Rooker’s staff, using his thorough experience on the North Park offensive line to coach that same position. Coach Rooker said “the OL gained tremendous growth this spring” and that’s no surprise with the addition of De Luca. The second-team All-CCIW pick helped he Vikings obtain123 first downs through the pass and averaged 25.10 points per game in 2024. De Luca and the NPU line did not allow a sack against Millikin and they surrendered just one in the Vikings' OT win at Augustana.
