Noah Luginbill is a fast-rising, special-teams-first safety for the Jackrabbits
In the 2026 season, Noah Luginbill has made an early impact at South Dakota State as a junior safety, recording 4 total tackles in the opener against Stetson while the staff describes him as very athletic and still learning the defense[1][3][6]. He arrives with legit production and bite—after leading Saddleback College in the 2025 season with 52 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 1 interception and 5 pass breakups—plus a rare prep résumé built on 429 career high school tackles[3][13]. If you want a defender who brings physicality, growth potential, and special-teams value more than flash, he’s your guy[6].
