SDSU's Record-Shattering Dual-Threat QB Legend (2016-2019)
Taryn Christion etched his name in South Dakota State history with FCS records like 11,535 career passing yards, 104 TD passes, and 13,050 total offense yards through 2019, earning MVFC Offensive Player of the Year (2016) and All-American honors for his pinpoint accuracy, mobility, and clutch leadership. A scholar-athlete with zero major injury red flags, his gritty intensity and dual-threat style mirror Lamar Jackson—making him an ideal fit for dynamic offenses valuing smarts, toughness, and proven winners. Post-college, he's bounced through NFL practice squads and CFL before retiring in 2022.
