veteran interior anchor who helped power an elite NDSU defense
Jack Darnell was a dependable, high-floor defensive tackle for North Dakota State, starting all 16 games in the 2019 season and finishing with 17 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and 0.5 sacks. His value went beyond the box score: he was part of a Bison unit that allowed just 12.3 points and 274.7 yards per game in 2019, and he repeatedly earned Missouri Valley Football Conference Honor Roll recognition. If you want a steady, disciplined interior defender with championship-program toughness, Darnell fits the bill.
