Casey Larson is a rising SDSU linebacker with special-teams juice
In the 2025 season, Casey Larson played in 12 games for South Dakota State as a true freshman, logged 4 tackles, broke up a pass, and even blocked a punt that helped spark a touchdown at Montana State. He projects as a high-motor, do-everything defender: versatile from his multi-position high school background, active on special teams, and already trusted in a winning program. For a team, he looks like a culture fit with upside—more “needle-mover in the margins” than headline stat monster right now.
