Nick Gaes was a menace off the edge for South Dakota
In the 2024 season, Gaes finished with 10.0 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, 164 career tackles, and 24.0 career sacks, earning third-team STATS Perform All-American honors and a minicamp look from the Giants. He’s the kind of DL who changes game plans: powerful at the point of attack, disruptive versus the run, and relentless as a pass rusher. Reports also highlight his violent hands, strong leverage, and versatility after a move from defensive tackle to edge. If you want a high-motor, proven production piece, he’s very much worth your attention.
