ALVA, Okla. – Northwestern Oklahoma State has added another piece to the restructuring of its football program.

The University announced Dustin Hada as its new offensive line coach this week. Hada will come to Northwestern after spending the last six years on the staff at Southwestern Oklahoma State University serving as the offensive line coach as well as the Run Game Coordinator.

"Dustin brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to NWOSU both as an Offensive Line coach and as a Strength and Conditioning coach. He was a hard-nosed player and will bring a sense of toughness and urgency to our big guys up front.  I am extremely excited to have him to help lead NWOSU going forward," Head Coach Matt Walter said.

Hada, a native of Alva, Oklahoma, was an All-District selection in 1994 and 1995, during his playing days at Alva High school.

"I am excited to join Coach Walter and the NWOSU family, and look forward to being a part of the dynamic direction of Ranger Football," said Hada.

Hada played collegiately at Mid America Nazarene University, an NAIA school in Olathe, Kan. While at MANU, he was a three-year starter in the offensive line and was awarded the team's most inspirational player. The Pioneers made three consecutive post-season bowl appearances in 1997, 1998 and 1999.
 
Hada has a bachelor's degree in biology from Mid America Nazarene and later earned his master's degree in teaching from Olivet Nazarene in 2002.
 
He and his wife Dana, have one daughter, Madelynn.
