The '''William Penn University''' Statesmen {{nd1comf|haac}} William Penn is a private Quaker institution located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, about 45 minutes southeast of Des Moines.  {{enrol|2,000}}

The campus is located on the north end of Oskaloosa on US 63 between Trueblood Avenue and R Avenue, extending west to E Street. Penn Gymnnasium (2,000) is right in the center of campus. Oskaloosa Community Stadium (2,200) is on the west side of Oskaloosa, about a mile from campus, at the corner of 238th Street and Laveen Avenue. Exit 191 off I-80 is the US 63 exit, 32 miles north of campus.

William Penn's oldest rival is [[Central (IA)]]; of late, a strong rivalry has developed with [[Grand View]], which will only become stronger as the two teams move into the {{haac}} together.

Three players have reached the NFL from William Penn, and surprisingly for a small college whose football history spans back into the 19th century, they've all reached the league after 1970: Chiefs DL Wilbur Young, Bills RB Warren Loving, and Jets DL Damon Harrison. Of course, that ancient history is also important to William Penn as well: John Outland, for whom the [[Outland Trophy]] is named, began his college career at William Penn before transferring to [[Kansas]] and then to [[Pennsylvania]]. No Statesmen have reached the NBA or ABA, however.
