Blake Peterson brings veteran edge depth, experience, and academic discipline to SDSU
Peterson is a savvy, physical **defensive end** who adds proven depth and a high-floor presence for South Dakota State after stops at Iowa State and as a home-state transfer back to SDSU. In 2023, he appeared in the Jackrabbits’ first seven games, flashed disruption with tackles for loss and a quarterback hurry, and then was sidelined by injury, so his next-step value hinges on durability as much as production. His differentiators are size, coachability, and a track record of contributing on special teams and as a reserve lineman, plus strong academic credentials that suggest reliability and maturity.
