(Raja) Nelson was lining up with the running backs during position drills on Monday.

“That is definitely something that is in store for me,” Nelson said after practice on Monday. “I love being in the backfield, more of that scatback label, I feel like there are different ways to get the ball.

Junior safety Darius Givance; who has all-conference player written all over, had a tremendous de-cleating hit on true freshman Chris Kiel.

The aforementioned Kiel is one that is getting more reps with the number one and two units. Kiel, who had a Northern Illinois offer and turned that down to sign with NDSU in February, is a slash-type receiver at 5-foot-11 and 198-pounds.

Defensive tackle Alijah Wayne certainly looks the part. Wayne weighed in at 6-foot-4, 273-pounds and looks all of that.

Buffalo, Minnesota native Ryan Babatz was out with the top group several times during Monday’s practice at left guard.

Two defensive transfers had solid days, cornerback Antoine Booth, who had a nice pass breakup and tackle Obald Niyonkuru had a solid stop during team drills.

Cade Osterman, Carson Williams, Jailen Duffie and Charles Ross III each were held out of practice on Monday.

NDSU safety Darius Givance emerges as versatile element in Bison secondary. Givance started 12 games for North Dakota State last season.

Klieman added younger players at the position, like redshirt freshmen Will Steil and Taylen Eady, have also shown promise early in fall camp. Eady was sidelined Wednesday and was wearing a knee brace. Head coach Tim Polasek said after practice it's possible Eady could miss significant time.

2025 Bison fall camp observations; some true freshmen are standing out

Offensive lineman Ryan Babatz and defensive tackle Alijah Wayne are impressing through the first week.

Head coach Tim Polasek said after practice that there’s a chance Elliott “is going to miss significant time.” Eady, whose right knee was in a brace, could also miss “significant time.” They were joined by freshman offensive lineman Brett Tastad and linebacker Gavin Sell on the sidelines.

Several other players were either held out or received a maintenance day Wednesday; starting offensive lineman Griffin Empey and linebacker Peder Haugo. Cade Osterman and Carson Williams also were not practicing.

Defensive tackles Keenan Wilson and Logan Larson were routinely getting into the backfield. Jaxon Duttenhefer had one drill where he was untouched and wrapped up running back Myles Mitchell. Polasek was not thrilled with his offensive line play and made that known during practice.

Sophomore receiver Jackson Williams is good. Really good. All throughout fall camp he has blazed past the Bison defensive backs to make highlight reel catches.

In our last update, Ryan Babatz’s name came up as a potential player on the offensive line. The 6-foot-5 freshman was once again getting first team reps, paired next to Beau Johnson.

Alijah Wayne is a name that Bison fans had better get to know. “He’s a viable candidate in the pass-rush situation.” Polasek said.

There is another way to look at things as well, that the sophomore and redshirt freshmen are not developing as fast as the coaching staff would want them too.
