C.J. Siegel is a proven, ball-hawking veteran with captain energy in North Dakota’s secondary
Siegel brings starter-level reliability and real playmaking juice: in 2023, he started all 12 games at cornerback, posted 8 pass breakups, 28 solo tackles, 2 tackles for loss, a pick-six style 59-yard interception return, and a key fumble recovery; over his UND career he logged 52 starts, 29 pass breakups, 6 interceptions, and 115 solo tackles. The bigger story is the intangibles—he was a two-time team captain and repeatedly delivered in high-leverage moments, which makes him a fit for any defense that values toughness, consistency, and a secondary quarterback who can steady the room.
