A native of Fisher, Ill., Wantland played his collegiate football at Monmouth College. During his time there, Wantland was a three time all-conference wide receiver. The team went three straight seasons with perfect 10-0 records in the regular season and won three straight Midwest Conference titles. In 2011, he graduated from Monmouth with a bachelor’s degree in history.
In 2011, he began his coaching career at his alma mater, Fisher High School. He co-coordinated the offense for the varsity team and ran the JV program for his mentor Matt Leng. The team went 6-4 and made it back to the playoffs after a two-year drought.
In 2012, Wantland began a graduate assistant job with St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa. Wantland was the team’s wide receiver coach and successfully coached two all-conference wide receivers. One of his wide outs was the conference’s leading receiver in yards, catches, and touchdowns and the team went 9-1 to host the University’s first-ever home football playoff game. In May 2014, he graduated with his master’s degree in organizational leadership.
