Skyler Werner brings big-body upside and disruptive high school production to NDSU’s defensive line
Skyler Werner, a 2026 freshman DT at North Dakota State, arrives at 6-2 and 270 with a strong prep résumé: 100 career tackles, eight sacks, four forced fumbles, and a standout senior year with 48 tackles and two sacks. He was a three-year starter and team captain at Prior Lake, which points to a competitive, dependable presence, not just raw size. The appeal is clear: he projects as a physical interior defender with athletic mobility for his frame, and that combination makes him a smart developmental fit for the Bison’s hard-nosed front.
