Gunner Thielges brings two-way playmaker toughness to NDSU
A 2026 North Dakota State safety out of LaMoure, Gunner Thielges arrives with a proven do-it-all resume: he was a four-year starter in high school, earned 9-man All-State honors multiple times, and even set his school’s all-time rushing record before signing with the Bison. The takeaway is simple—he’s a competitive, physical, high-motor athlete who has already shown he can carry offense, defense, and leadership duties. That versatility and edge make him the kind of fit coaches love when they want reliable depth with upside.
