Keith Buckman was a battering-ram tackle for NDSU's powerhouse line
In the 2009 season, Keith Buckman was a first-team All-MVFC offensive lineman who started 11 games and helped North Dakota State finish among the FCS’s best in scoring and rushing efficiency. At 6-foot-5 and around 320 pounds, his calling card was old-school power: a big, strong, physical blocker who had earned preseason All-America recognition and was praised for consistency, toughness, and work ethic. He also showed positional flexibility by moving from tackle to guard, which is a sneaky-good trait for any roster.
