Big-bodied SDSU line anchor with veteran backup value and proven disruption
Steven Bazata has been a trusted, physical presence on South Dakota State’s defensive line, where team materials describe him as a valuable backup and a four-year letterwinner who became part of the Jackrabbits’ early FCS playoff rise. In the 2009 season, he logged a career-high seven tackles and two tackles for loss in one game, underscoring his ability to win with leverage and motor rather than flash. At 6-foot-5, he brings size, durability, and steady depth—ideal for a team that wants a dependable trench worker who won’t need the spotlight to make an impact.
