Iowa’s Dependable OL with MVFC All-Newcomer Pedigree, Now Back After OWI Suspension
Cade Borud, a 2024 walk-on transfer from North Dakota, brings proven durability—starting all 12 games at center in 2023 while earning MVFC All-Newcomer honors and helping UND rank No. 2 in the conference in completion percentage. Though suspended one game in 2024 for an OWI arrest (bloodshot eyes noted by police), he’s now reinstated and ready to contribute. His strengths include smart, dependable blocking, a state-title-winning high school background, and the intensity of a player who led UND to 652 offensive yards in a single game. For teams seeking a reliable, battle-tested interior lineman with leadership potential and a clean slate post-suspension, Borud is a strong fit—especially in Iowa’s physical, scheme-driven offense.
