Chase Douglas brings veteran interior grit to SDSU's defensive front
In the 2013 season, Chase Douglas was a rotation-caliber defensive lineman for South Dakota State who the staff expected to handle a starting role, a sign of trust in his toughness and consistency. His value is the kind that shows up in the dirty work: interior leverage, disruption, and the ability to hold his ground so others can make plays. He also flashed back in high school as a productive, high-motor defender with all-state recognition, and that combo makes him the kind of dependable, blue-collar fit coaches love.
