Jonah Funk brings size, rebounding, and high-upside frontcourt grit to South Dakota
Jonah Funk is a 6-foot-10 freshman forward for South Dakota in the 2025-26 season, arriving as a polished rebounder with proven production and a winning résumé from Metamora High, where he was a unanimous First Team All-Mid-Illini pick and helped win a conference title. Before that, he posted 14.9 points, 10.9 rebounds, and 3.2 blocks per game as a junior at El Paso-Gridley, which tells you the real draw: rim protection, physicality, and dependable interior impact. He looks like a fit for a team needing size, toughness, and developmental upside rather than immediate offensive polish.
