NDSU’s Iron-Clad DT Anchoring a 38.1 PPG Defense with Unmatched Intensity
Costner Ching, a defensive tackle for North Dakota State (2021–2024), started all 15 games in 2021, recording 28 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks, tying a career high with 1.5 TFL in one game[2]. Beyond stats, Ching differentiates himself through relentless intensity, a no-excuses personality, and a clean injury history that underscores his durability and consistency. Playing in a program averaging 38.1 points per game while limiting opponents to 18.6, he’s a high-fit anchor for any team needing a physical, reliable interior defender who elevates the entire defense with his presence[7]. If you care about toughness, reliability, and a player who brings elite effort every snap, Ching is your guy.
