the academic anchor who helped power SDSU’s trench game
Nick Purcell has been a high-IQ, versatile offensive lineman for South Dakota State, with the Jackrabbits calling him a valuable piece who could swing between center and guard. In the 2014 season, SDSU credited him as a part-time starter who helped fuel an offense that averaged 32.4 points and 447.5 yards per game, while his 4.0 GPA and Academic All-America recognition underscored the discipline and reliability coaches love in an OL. If you want a steady, smart, low-drama lineman with versatility and leadership, he’s your guy.
