History

On August 25, 2020, the Indoor Football League (IFL) held a press conference at the Findlay Toyota Center to announce a new expansion team in Prescott Valley. The team is the third IFL franchise in the state of Arizona, along with the Arizona Rattlers and Tucson Sugar Skulls, for the 2021 season.[1] They will be the third indoor football team to play in Prescott Valley. The Arizona Adrenaline played in the American Indoor Football Association before that in 2008 and also played in the IFL in 2011. The Arizona Outlaws played in the AIF in 2012.

The team hired Dominic Bramante as the inaugural head coach after previously serving in the same role with the Duke City Gladiators, winning the Champions Indoor Football title in 2018 and 2019.[2] On October 6, 2020, the team name was announced as the Northern Arizona Wranglers.[3]
