UND held it’s annual Media Day on Tuesday and we were lucky enough to take in the day. Our own Matt Nelson conducted multiple interviews with players/coaches. The newly constructed Student Union on campus was the venue this year – if you haven’t swung through yet make sure you take time to do so. Absolutely…
The UND secondary is a group that lost some major production and experience from last season. How they develop the new starters will be a key to their success in 2022. Hawks lost multi-year starters at safety in Hayden Galvin and Jordan Canady, along with long-time stalwart at corner Evan Holm. UND did rotate quite…
I have been bullish on the majority of the position groups thus far. Linebackers, on the other hand, have some holes to fill. The Hawks lost a TON of production at inside and outside linebacker due to graduation. Replacing it will not exactly be ‘plug & play’. Thankfully, starter senior Devon Krzanowski is back at…
The 2022 edition of the defensive line is arguably the best it has been in the D1 era. UND returns two starters (Jaelen Johnson and Jalen Morrison) along with a host of others that played consistently in 2021. Ben McNaboe will be leaned on heavily at the other DE spot. The addition of transfer Barty…
The Hawks quarterback group returns their Top 4 QB’s from last year. The experience is there to take the Danny Freund offense to the next level. Junior starter Tommy Schuster is back after putting up 2,493 yards and 13 TD’s vs 7 INT’s in 2021. Schuster will undoubtedly be the starter come Week 1 vs….
This year’s running back group could easily be labeled as “by committee”. The Hawks return three players that got significant carries along with FCS graduate transfer Tyler Hoosman (UNI). Sophomore Isaiah Smith (52-356-2 TD), senior Luke Skokna (35-221-1 TD), and freshman Gavin Ziebarth (16-116) all will combine with Hoosman to give UND a unique look…
Faithful 360 Listeners: it won’t take you long to find out what we think about the 2022 UND Receiver corps. This group is talented, tall, quick and experienced – to go along with some young talent. I personally am very high on this edition of the “Jets”. Leading receiver soph. Bo Belquist (52-535-5 TD) is…
The tight end group is quite large considering it is 2022. Some teams don’t utilize tight ends much anymore while others will have three on the field at times. UND boasts 10 tight end/fullbacks on the roster this season. We mention fullbacks because to be fair that is what some of them are. “H-back”, “fullback”…
Football is back Fighting Hawks fans and so are the UNDFB360 Position Previews! In this first installment we take a look at the most important position on the field – offensive line. This group has been evolving slowly since OL coach Joe Pawlak arrived in 2019. The talent is there in 2022 to upgrade the…
