Aug. 31—FARGO, N.D. — Blake Schiltz kicked off his college football career with a bang.
The 2025 Pine Island graduate and Division I-FBS North Dakota State University defensive end was named the Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Week on Monday.
In his NDSU debut, a 33-7 victory over Jacksonville State on Aug. 29, the 6-foot-2, 250-pound redshirt freshman recorded a solo tackle, a sack and recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown, putting the Bison up by 20 points in the third quarter. Schiltz's fourth-quarter sack forced Jacksonville State to attempt and miss a 52-yard field goal.
Schiltz's standout performance came in NDSU's first game at the FBS level. The university announced in February that it was making the jump from FCS and joining the Mountain West.
Schiltz redshirted and did not see the field during the 2025 season, NDSU's last in FCS and the Missouri Valley Football Conference.
