Gaven Ziebarth is North Dakota’s efficient, big-play workhorse at RB
In the 2025 season, Gaven Ziebarth posted 61 carries for 432 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns, averaging 7.1 yards per carry for North Dakota.[1][2][9] He stands out as an explosive, north-south runner with legit burst—his 51-yard long and multiple chunk gains show he can turn a crease into a problem fast.[1][6][11] The wrinkle: after a breakout 2024 season (133 carries, 534 yards, 8 rushing TDs), he’s proven he can handle volume and finish drives, not just flash.[15]
