Beau Bakken brings NFL-ish size and local-hero upside to SDSU’s linebacker room
Beau Bakken is a **freshman** linebacker for South Dakota State listed at **6'4", 215 pounds**, which gives him a rare frame for the position and immediate developmental upside; he’s an in-state product from Garretson, South Dakota, and is currently active on the Jackrabbits roster. Beyond the raw measurables, that size-profile suggests a player who can grow into a versatile front-seven defender if he adds strength and refines his read-and-react game, making him a prospect worth tracking for fit, physicality, and long-term ceiling rather than just box-score production.
