2025 Bison Football Preview Show Part One: Cole Payton takes over as QB1 and a new look defense

https://www.inforum.com/sports/bison...w-look-defense

WDAY is previewing the upcoming season with two half-hour specials over the next two weeks.

In the first preview show, Dom Izzo sits down with Tim Polasek to chat about his expectations for fall camp and some position battles to watch over the next few weeks.

Izzo also has a feature on Bison quarterback Cole Payton, who has waited four years for his opportunity to start. Payton came to Fargo as one of the most anticipated players in the Division I era, but had to sit behind Cam Miller the last few years. The 6-foot-3 Payton visits about the "naysayers" and his own expectations he's bringing to the field.

Sam Goetzinger has a pair of features on the new look Bison defense, which will be led by some familiar faces and a bunch of newcomers. Toby Anene, Nathaniel Staehling and Ryan Jones are just some of the names that Bison fans will want to know this fall.

Goetzinger also introduces fans to the NDSU running backs, which has undergone a makeover this offseason. After Jerry Rice Award winner Marty Brown left for the transfer portal, the Bison added two transfer running backs to bolster returner Barika Kpeenu.

The biggest loss was linebacker Alex Elliott, a transfer from the University of Minnesota, who suffered season-ending injury in practice.

Polasek said four true freshmen will at least be part of the NCAA four-game rule: defensive tackle Alijah Wayne from Omaha, offensive tackle Ryan Babatz from Buffalo, Minnesota, running back Myles Mitchell from Chicago and safety Mikhale Ford from Lincoln, Nebraska. They’ll be traveling to The Citadel. Players who haven’t redshirted can play up to four games without losing a year of eligibility.

“Elijah Wayne is not going to get dressed up for nothing,” Polasek said. “He’s got a chance to be a pretty good player for us.

He said Babatz, at 6-5 and 308 pounds, is physically ready to play right away.

“I’m really hopeful we can find some opportunity early in the year for Ryan to play,” Polasek said, “so then we know we have a formidable guy to go beyond four games.”
