NDSU's Steady Reserve DE with Playoff Pedigree and Academic Edge
Kole Menz, a 6-2, 237-lb junior DE for the powerhouse NDSU Bison (14-2 in 2024), delivers consistent rotational impact with 15 tackles, including season-high 3 at South Dakota, building on 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble in the 2023 playoff run.[1][2][3][4] A MVFC All-Newcomer standout with no injury red flags, his high-motor intensity shines in big games like strip-sacking Drake in playoffs; pair that with a biological sciences degree (May 2025) and team-captain grit from ND high school dominance (34.5 career TFLs).[4] Care because he's a reliable, smart edge presence—perfect fit for teams needing FCS-proven depth without the flash.[4]
