Grant Noland is a young, physical North Dakota DB who already earned real snaps as a freshman
Noland entered North Dakota as a freshman defensive back and quickly forced his way into the lineup, with 29 tackles, 4 pass breakups, and no interceptions or sacks recorded in 2025, plus reports noting he led UND cornerbacks in tackles during an injury-hit secondary. His biggest differentiator is his willingness to hit and play with urgency; he was moved from safety to cornerback and still adapted fast, which says a lot about his football IQ and competitiveness. He looks like a fit for a team that values toughness, versatility, and early-developing defenders with room to grow.
