walk-on to weight-room warrior for SDSU
Taylor Suess is best remembered as a South Dakota State offensive lineman who climbed from a 230-pound walk-on defensive lineman to a 298-pound two-year starter, a rare development arc that screams discipline and coachability. In the 2014 NSCA profile, he was described as intelligent, hardworking, dedicated, and infectious in personality, with major strength gains and a reputation as the anchor of the line at center. For a team, that profile translates to toughness, versatility, and a player who brings culture as much as bulk—exactly the kind of guy teammates trust when the trenches get nasty.[8]
