a bruising, versatile fullback who did the dirty work for a championship NDSU machine
Luepke stood out at North Dakota State as a high-effort, scheme-flexible fullback who was more than a lead blocker: in his final Bison seasons he contributed as a runner and receiver, helping NDSU go 49-4 over his last four years and win FCS titles in 2019 and 2021. His appeal is his versatility, physicality, and reliability in short-yardage or mismatch roles, though he is no volume-stat star. If you want toughness, special-role value, and a player who can fit a physical offense, he makes sense.
