Nick Farina brings veteran safety instincts and disruptive playmaking to South Dakota State
Farina’s calling card is range, reliability, and a knack for showing up in big moments: as a South Dakota State safety, he played in 11 games with four starts in 2017, logged an eight-tackle opener at TCU, added a seven-tackle game against Cal Poly, and forced a key fumble.[2] Earlier, he also flashed playmaking upside with an interception return for a touchdown and a 10-tackle effort against Western Illinois.[1] For a team, he profiles as a tough, assignment-sound defender who can help in coverage and around the ball rather than a pure stats compiler.[1][2]
