It's now down from a matter of months to just a matter of weeks before we see the South Dakota State Jackrabbits and all College Football programs kick off the 2022 season.
Let’s be honest, we are very lucky to have such great football programs so close to us here in the Sioux Empire. Augustana, USF, USD, and South Dakota State are all within an hours drive, and it’s time to lay out the ultimate schedule this Fall for viewing (and possibly attending) the best possible game each and every week.
There are many reasons for optimism this season for fans of South Dakota State Jackrabbit football.
One of those reasons is the return of high quality players and people in important positions.
Anticipation is high yet again for another great season of South Dakota State Jackrabbit Football. At this time of the offseason, rankings abound, whether it be the projected top 25, preseason All-Americans, or position rankings.
This season of SDSU Jackrabbit football comes along with very high expectations, and last week three offensive players for the Jackrabbits landed on Athlon's preseason All-America team.
Pierre Strong Jr. was one of the best athletes among his position tested at this year's NFL Combine, and that along with stellar college production made him a fourth round pick in April's NFL Draft.
Both USD and SDSU Women's Basketball have had a ton of recent success on the hardwood. The national media has begun to take notice, as one of the programs has landed on ESPN's 'Way Too Early' Top 25.
The 2022 College Football schedules continue to become clearer. For all Missouri Valley Football Conference teams, the early portion of the season has been highlighted recently by showdowns with teams from the Big Sky Conference.
With Pierre Strong Jr. and Chris Oladokun hearing their names called in this year's NFL Draft, it piqued my interest as to how many and where former Jackrabbits and Coyotes have been drafted in the past.
The NFL Draft is almost upon us, and for a pair of area college running backs making the jump to the league, the next step in their journey is soon to be revealed.
