Big-frame, high-upside interior lineman developing at South Dakota State
Rhett Schaefer is an ascending **6-3, 255-pound defensive tackle** for South Dakota State who redshirted in 2024 but still earned **Missouri Valley Football Conference Honor Roll** recognition and scout-team praise, which points to a strong work ethic and steady developmental trajectory. He was a **two-way all-district lineman** in high school and brings a long-term upside profile as an intelligent, academically driven player majoring in electrical engineering. For a team, he looks like a good fit if you value size, buy-in, and projectable interior-line growth over immediate star production.
