Had a mutual connection reach out to offer the following on what
@GoJacksFB is getting in Ostroski...
"Amazing family. Great athlete and kid. He's a freak, man. He doesn't care about all the NIL stuff. Just wants to be a part of winning."

Ostroski recorded 8.5 sacks and 22.0 TFLs in 35 games at Tulsa. His father, Jerry, was an All-American O-Lineman there and went on to play 8 years for the Buffalo Bills.

South Dakota star DL Mi’Quise Grace plans to enter the transfer portal, source tells @247Sports. Had 9.5 sacks and 17 TFL this season as Valley Conference DPOTY.
Coach Entz grabs an assistant coach from the MVFC.Quote:
……The Coyotes have lost offensive coordinator Josh Davis to Fresno State after 2 terrific seasons in Vermillion. Prior to that he was receivers coach at SDSU for 6 years……
…… Bob Nielson has named Tim Morrison and Matt Vitzthum as his replacement, so USD will have co-offensive coordinators. Tim was tight ends coach for USD this year and Matt was wide receivers coach. Morrison played his college football at Wartburg in Bob Nielson’s final year as head coach there.
The offensive Coordinators got some great news Thursday. Aidan Bouman announced on his Twitter page that he has unfinished business in Vermillion and will return for another season as signal caller for the Coyotes…..
So one of this season’s top 3 MVFC teams will have a returning starter at QB - the Coyotes.

This is a significant development. Bouman, who already ranks 4th at USD in career passing yards and 5th in touchdown passes, will play one more season for the Coyotes. All indications during the season were that 2024 would be his final ride. Not so fast.

Kobe Clayborne
@TheKobeC1
DL @ South Dakota State || All-MVFC || All-American || 94 ||
Did Zimmer send you an angry email, too, Bruin? Jeez. You should be getting his salary…
Would be nice but doesn't seem like NDSU has much interest. Too bad since his dad John is a former Bison center from the late 90s and early 2000s and he held offers from the other 3 Dakota schools plus Wyoming I believe.
He's signed his NLI as well which means they can't (legally) recruit him anymore unless he gets a release from it but, as we're finding out, there are no rules anymore in the NIL era or at least the NCAA has no ability to enforce them.
Griffin Wilde commits to Northwestern.
Nice get for Head Coach David Braun & Northwestern.

Former Jackrabbit WR Wilde will reunite with former Jackrabbit OC Zach Lujan
https://nusports.com/news/2024/2/19/...ach-zach-lujan
Northwestern already got a QB through the Transfer Portal, so would seem to rule out Jackrabbit QB Gronowski joining Wilde

ERIC EIDSNESS
Eidsness served as the Jackrabbits' offensive coordinator on two previous occasions — from 1999 until 2003 while SDSU competed at the NCAA Division II level and again from 2010-18. The Jackrabbits made seven consecutive appearances in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs to close out his second go-around, including back-to-back semifinal berths in 2017 and 2018. He also held the title of associate head coach under John Stiegelmeier from 2015-18.
