Sam Jung brings veteran, high-IQ stability to NDSU’s secondary
In the 2023 season, Sam Jung was an Academic All-American, started all 15 games at safety, and finished third on North Dakota State with 66 tackles, plus 3 interceptions and 3 pass breakups[5]. His profile fits a defense-first role: reliable, disciplined, and mentally sharp, with the résumé of a player trusted to stay on the field and make clean, assignment-sound plays[5][1]. At 5'11", 192 pounds and listed as active, he looks like a steady fit for a team that values intelligence, consistency, and a low-mistake back-end presence over flash[1][2].
