Josh Holst brings dual-threat juice to South Dakota State's QB room
In the 2026 season, Josh Holst has already flashed efficient, explosive play for South Dakota State: he went 6-of-11 for 235 yards and 2 touchdowns in the season opener, including a 78-yard score against Stetson. He arrived from Northern Illinois with FBS reps, having completed 59% of his passes in 2024 and shown real mobility, including 385 rushing yards across two seasons and bowl MVP honors. At 6-4, 210, he gives the Jackrabbits a big-bodied quarterback with arm talent, run threat, and competitive toughness—exactly the kind of transfer who can raise a ceiling fast.
