Local edge prospect with NDSU-style frame and upside
Carter Dauner is a young North Dakota State defensive end from West Fargo who already has the size and local pedigree that fit the Bison’s development model, but he enters as an unproven freshman rather than a polished finished product.[1][2][4] At 6'3" to 6'4", he has the frame to add strength and anchor against the run, and his commitment to NDSU suggests coaches saw enough raw traits to bet on his long-term growth.[3][4] He is worth watching if you want a high-upside, in-state developmental edge defender with room to grow into a impact player.[1][2][4]
