Eric Treske is in his sixth season as head football coach at Wisconsin Lutheran College.

The third head coach in the program’s 25-year history, Treske led the 2024 Warriors to a 7-3 overall record, including a 6-2 mark in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference. WLC matched its best record in program history, last achieved in 2014.

After being picked for sixth in the NACC preseason poll, Wisconsin Lutheran solidified sole possession of third place in the conference standings. The Warriors’ three losses came against teams who qualified for NCAA postseason play.

Treske has coached 24 players who have received a total of 40 all-conference honors during his tenure at WLC.

Treske returned to his alma mater after spending five seasons as offensive coordinator and strength and conditioning director at fellow Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference member Lakeland University. With the Muskies, Treske assisted the team to three straight NCAA Division III Playoff appearances (2015-2017) and a combined 24-8 NACC record during his tenure on the Plymouth campus.

Treske coordinated Muskies' offenses that ranked either first or second in the NACC four times, as his teams averaged 34.8 points per game over his five seasons at Lakeland. In 2017, Lakeland ranked second in NCAA Division III in total offense (552.9 yards per game) and eighth in scoring offense (42.3 points per game).

Individually, he mentored quarterback Michael Whitley to Second Team All-American honors in 2017, including three straight NACC Offensive Player of the Year awards. The 2019 season saw running backs Dez Eddie and Larry Rivers become just the 13th duo in NCAA Division III history to surpass 1,000 yards.

The Cedarburg native joined the Lakeland University coaching staff in 2015 after previously serving as a graduate assistant there for two years. He coached the Muskies' wide receivers and was the strength and speed coordinator. Treske earned his master's degree in counseling from LU in 2013 before returning to Wisconsin Lutheran for two seasons. As an assistant coach in 2014, he helped lead the Warriors to their first conference championship in school history.

Treske was a four-year letterwinner (2004-2007) as a wide receiver and returner for WLC. He ranks fifth in school history with 110 receptions and sixth all-time with 1,334 receiving yards. While at Wisconsin Lutheran, Treske was an all-conference selection and was twice named the Warriors' most inspirational player. He received a bachelor's degree in communication from WLC in 2008.

Treske and his wife, Jasmin, reside in Milwaukee with their sons, Caiden and Jayden.
