Gavin Sell brings early-playmaking upside to NDSU's linebacker room
Sell is a **redshirt freshman** at North Dakota State who already flashed in limited action in 2025, logging **nine total tackles** in his final three games, including **seven tackles and one tackle for loss vs. St. Thomas** and two stops against Northern Iowa.[2] At **6-2, 230**, he has the frame and multi-sport athletic background to project as a physical, downhill linebacker, and his high school résumé as a two-time all-state performer suggests real competitive juice.[2] He looks like a good fit for a program that values toughness, depth, and developmental upside.
