Aaron Kusler brings all-conference production and downhill LB toughness to South Dakota State
Kusler is a proven, physical linebacker for South Dakota State who has already earned first-team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference honors and has produced impact plays in the backfield, including 7 sacks and 14.5 tackles for loss by 2023. He combines size (6'3", 230) with a résumé built on high-volume tackling, pass disruption, and a tough, no-nonsense style that translates well to winning football. His appeal goes beyond stats: he has the profile of a reliable, high-motor defender who can fit a defense that values intensity, production, and consistency.
