North Dakota State football reached into its backyard for one of its latest additions to the 2023 recruiting class.
Davies rising senior lineman Brennan Palmer announced his commitment to the Bison on Tuesday. At 6'4, 240 pounds, Palmer split time on the offensive and defensive lines for the Eagles last season. He collected 36 tackles, four for loss, and three sacks.
"It feels like a dream," Palmer said. "I've watched them all my life, I've been a fan all my life, and to be able to be a part of their team and part of their family is just crazy to me."
NDSU also added offensive tackle Nate Schneckloft out of North Scott High School in Iowa on Tuesday.
