The program currently has four former offensive linemen on NFL rosters &#8212; Dillon Radunz, Zack Johnson, Joe Haeg, and Billy Turner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jensen is a physical presence at 6-foot-4 and 327 pounds. If you think that&#8217;s big, he arrived at NDSU in 2017 weighing 349 pounds. Jensen, a two-star recruit out of Minnesota, chose the Bison over offers from Illinois State, Montana State, Northern Iowa, South Dakota State, and FBS programs Georgia State, New Mexico, and Wyoming, according to 247Sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a couple of years of development, Jensen earned a starting role in 2019 at left guard. He started all 16 games as NDSU rushed for a school-record of 4,601 yards. Jensen received HERO Sports Sophomore All-American honors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heading into the 2020 fall season, which was ultimately postponed to the spring, HERO Sports named him a preseason Second Team All-American. Jensen went on to start all 10 games &#8212; one in the fall and nine in the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">underrated play in the game. <br><br>If <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NDSU?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NDSU<\/a> punts here, JMU is absolutely ROLLING early.<br><br>Great job by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jense011?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@jense011<\/a> to stay on his feet and catch a body. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QrLVdZFrUU\">pic.twitter.com\/QrLVdZFrUU<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Bison Report (@BisonReport) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BisonReport\/status\/1216568843499376640?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 13, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the 2021&nbsp;FCS&nbsp;Jersey Countdown.
