Kolten Tilford brings depth and upside to South Dakota State’s safety room
Tilford is a South Dakota State safety whose value is tied to versatility and developmental upside rather than headline-grabbing stat totals, making him the kind of player coaches prize for reliable depth and special-teams impact. ESPN lists him as a safety for the Jackrabbits, and available coverage shows him on the roster during SDSU’s 2023 championship-defense run, but public stat data is limited, so his current impact appears more about readiness, physical play, and fitting a winning defensive culture than flashy production.
