South Dakota’s steady, physical veteran receiver
Austin Koch is a South Dakota wideout with a blue-collar profile: the kind of player whose value goes beyond box-score flash. In his 2013 season, he started the first two games, played in nine, and produced 8 catches for 102 yards while also earning the Beanie Cooper Special Teams Player of the Year award after tying for the team lead with 8 special teams tackles. That mix of toughness, versatility, and willingness to do the dirty work makes him a fit for teams that value reliability, physicality, and leadership over pure highlight-reel stats.
