Freshman DB Cameron Hentsch brings athletic upside and ball-hawking instincts to South Dakota Mines
Cameron Hentsch enters South Dakota Mines in the 2026 season as a 6-foot, 185-pound freshman defensive back from Mahtomedi, Minn., and the early read is pure upside: the coaching staff described him as a super athletic defender with a great nose for the football and the ability to finish plays. He also earned praise for his versatility, with the potential to play multiple defensive spots, which makes him a flexible fit if your team values range, effort, and scheme adaptability over a finished product.
