Transferred Kicker/Punter Bringing HS Pedigree and Early College Experience to Northern State
Jackson Isakson, a 6-2, 190-lb redshirt freshman kicker/punter, transferred from South Dakota State—where he redshirted in 2023 and notched two touchbacks on four kickoffs—to Northern State for 2026; in 2025, he appeared in nine games, averaging 37.26 yards per punt on 27 attempts (1,006 yards) plus a 64-yard kickoff. His HS all-state honors at Aberdeen Roncalli (18/19 XPs, 18 FGs in senior year) highlight leg strength and accuracy, making him a reliable special teams weapon with FCS polish—perfect fit for teams needing consistent punting and kickoff power without injury concerns.
