Jackrabbits' Record-Breaking Leg from NAIA to FCS Powerhouse
Eli Stader, a graduate transfer to South Dakota State, arrives with elite leg strength, highlighted by his 2024 NAIA record 60-yard field goal and five career 50+ yarders at Northwestern College, where he set school records with 62 FGs and earned Second Team All-America honors (15/21 FGs). Now bolstering SDSU's special teams after their 10-5 2025 season, his clutch walk-off 51-yarder in playoffs showcases ice-cold nerves under pressure—perfect for high-stakes FCS contenders needing a reliable, long-range weapon.
