Wisconsin Lutheran is coached again by Eric Treske, a WLC grad and a familiar face to Muskies football. Treske took over for longtime coach Dr. Dennis Miller in 2020 after spending seven years as an assistant at Lakeland, including his last five as offensive coordinator. The third coach in program history, Treske is in his seventh season at his alma mater, where he was a standout player in his four-year career.
Picking up where he left off: Playing in his first game of the season last week against Greenville,
Zelmarious Banks intercepted a pass to continue his string of dominant play in pass coverage dating back to last season. Banks has now intercepted eight passes over his last eight games, including seven picks over Lakeland's last seven games last year. He was named a D3football.com preseason second team All-American this year after ranking among the NCAA Division III leaders in interceptions last season as a freshman, when he was third in the country in interceptions per game (0.70) and tied for fourth in total interceptions (7).
Four straight: Trayvonne Roberts also is off to a good start to the season, including the senior defensive back making a career-high 13 tackles last week against Greenville. Roberts also intercepted a pass against the Panthers, and with it has the distinction of intercepting at least one pass in all four of his seasons as a Muskie, with to date exactly one interception each season so far.
First win: Lakeland quarterback
Carson Glosny picked up his first career win as a starter against Greenville, completing 19 of 32 passes for 158 yards and three touchdowns and also rushing for 44 yards. Glosny is in his first year with the Muskies, and the Green Bay area native and Notre Dame graduate has taken a circuitous route to playing close to home. He spent the 2024 and 2025 seasons at UW-Stevens Point, and in his second year appeared in three games, rushing twice for a total of seven yards and throwing two incomplete passes. Glosny then transferred to Kentucky Wesleyan College for the second semester last year, but then came to Lakeland and through two games has completed 44 of 75 passes for 435 yards, five touchdowns and just one interception.
