Cory Koenig brings proven SDSU production and big-play juice to the Jackrabbits' backfield
In the 2007 season, Cory Koenig was South Dakota State’s workhorse runner, finishing with 1,724 career rushing yards, ranking 10th on the Jackrabbits’ all-time list, and showing pop with a 131-yard, 2-touchdown game against North Dakota State. The big differentiator: he wasn’t just durable and reliable—he had legit home-run ability, including a 259-yard, 4-touchdown explosion against Cal Poly in 2007. He also earned academic recognition, which hints at discipline and professionalism. If you want a back who can carry volume and flip a game, Koenig fits the bill.
