Versatile 6-3 safety with breakout upside for North Dakota
In the 2026 season, Evan Kludt looks like a classic high-upside defensive back: a 6-foot-3, 189-pound sophomore who moved from wide receiver/DB background into a real role at North Dakota and has already shown he can handle meaningful snaps when injuries force the issue. He played roughly 100 snaps in 2026 spring ball and drew praise for holding up well against a strong Tarleton State offense, while reports also note he emerged as a No. 3 corner in fall camp. If you want length, flexibility, and a willing developmental piece with a competitive edge, he’s a legit fit.
