Jonathan Bunce brings veteran linebacker grit and production to South Dakota
In the 2024 season, Jonathan Bunce played all 14 games for South Dakota and posted 18 tackles, including one tackle for loss and one sack, after arriving as a multi-year FCS starter from St. Thomas. He’s the kind of linebacker coaches like: experienced, durable, and productive, with a proven résumé that includes 167 career tackles, 23.5 tackles for loss, and 12.5 sacks across his prior collegiate stops. The big sell? He adds depth, leadership, and a steady, no-nonsense edge rather than just flash.
