North Dakota State LB Mark Stumpf brings size, local roots, and classic Bison toughness
Mark Stumpf is a 6-foot-3, 225-pound linebacker from Bismarck, and his profile screams sturdy, physical depth piece with local-program familiarity and a blue-collar fit for NDSU’s culture[1]. He was a Bismarck HS team captain and an all-conference tight end in high school, which hints at versatility and feel for the game beyond the box score[6]. The most useful takeaway: he looks like the kind of player who can absorb contact, play with edge, and embrace the grind—exactly the sort of trait-set the Bison have historically valued[1][6].
