Ethan Stendell brings size, versatility, and early production to South Dakota Mines
In the 2025 season, South Dakota Mines listed Ethan Stendell as a 6-foot-4, 250-pound sophomore DL after he arrived with a strong two-way high school résumé and all-state honors[2][6][7]. He’s intriguing because he combines edge-to-interior flexibility with proven backfield disruption from high school—79 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, and five sacks across his junior and senior seasons—suggesting a hard-nosed, assignment-sound lineman who can fit multiple fronts[6]. There’s no current college stat line yet, so the value here is projection: a sturdy, physical defender with room to grow into a steady, versatile rotation piece[2][7].
