NDSU’s steady, hard-nosed safety and special-teams grinder
Hudson Artz is a 6-foot, 206-pound senior safety for North Dakota State who has carved out real value as a dependable special-teams contributor and backup defender; in the 2024 season, he played in 14 games and totaled 12 tackles, with his season high of four coming on kickoff coverage against Tennessee State. His edge is not flashy star power but toughness, versatility, and a team-first profile—plus a hockey-captain background and a walk-on rise that points to high competitiveness and buy-in. If you want a reliable culture fit with blue-collar energy, he’s your guy.
