Late-Blooming Edge Talent Transformed into NDSU’s Versatile TE/DE Hybrid
Abraham Myers, a 6'2", 236-lb junior from Sioux Falls, WA, stands out as a rare late-blooming football player who only started the sport in high school but quickly became one of SD’s top rising seniors with 6.5 sacks and 9 tackles for loss in 2021[7][8]. Though originally recruited as a defensive edge, he has successfully transitioned to tight end for NDSU while retaining DE eligibility, playing three games in 2025 as a sophomore and showing elite intensity and adaptability[2][3]. His differentiator is his combination of raw edge explosiveness (forced 2 fumbles in high school) and newfound receiving versatility, making him a high-upside, scheme-flexible fit for teams needing a physical, high-motor hybrid who can pressure the passer and win in the slot[7][10]. With an active status and no reported injury history, Myers offers coaches a rare two-way weapon with room to grow into a full-time DE or elite TE[1][3].
