Know Your Future Jackrabbits: Canyon Bauer

 Canyon Bauer

The Jackrabbits continued their recruiting momentum from the weekend before by adding the electric Canyon Bauer from Sioux Falls O'Gorman.  The 6'0 receiver has had a busy summer but made a few minutes to discuss his recruitment and commitment to SDSU.


Bauer prides himself on working hard and being a great teammate.  He holds high expectations for himself and for others.  Last year those high expectations helped him record 51 receptions for 853 yards and 8 touchdowns along with with 110 rushing yards.  For that production Bauer was selected as a Class 3A All-State Selection and was one of the few non-seniors selected on the Argus Leaders Elite 45 team.  One of Canyon's top assets is his speed and athleticism.  At SDSU's Propsect Camp, Bauer ran a 4.48 40 and at the Riggs Football Combine he had a 37" vertical.  To get better this season, Bauer wants to work on his route running and getting in and out of his routes faster.

Bauer camped all over this summer and earned offers from NDSU, USD, UND, and preferred walk-ons from Iowa and Minnesota.  However, he picked SDSU because of the family feel.  He also likes that it is close to his actual family in Sioux Falls and that they will easily be able to make t to games.  While on campus he is thinking of a possible major in pre-physical therapy.  Through the recruitment process he really enjoyed working with Coach Eidsness and Coach Arnheim and thought that talking to Mikey Daniel really was helpful.

Canyon is blunt about his goal for the upcoming season... win a state championship.  He feels like this is the year and that everyone is bought in.  O'Gorman has had good attendance at that summer workouts and he thinks this is the year.

Welcome to SDSU, Canyon.

Go Jacks!

Jackrabbit Football All-Decade Team

Image
Yes, we are well into the new year/decade but our debate has been fierce in creating an All-Decade Jackrabbit football team.  The challenges of creating this team were what to do with the players at the beginning and the end of the decade who may only have a year or two of stats to go on or what do we do with those players who only splashed for one year?  Further complicating matters was the consistent improvement of the Jackrabbit team as a whole and the level of competition they are facing week in and week out.  So with all of those factors, the Splitting Hares Podcast team of Ben Pierson, Brendan Luedtke, Kyle Sheehan, and Dallas Clarksean created our list of who the team should be.  All are welcome to their opinions!  Special thanks to Mitchell McLain who keeps an unbelievable database of Jackrabbit football statistics and information.  Offense Quarterback Taryn Christion (2015-2018) 44 games started, 59.70% completion rate, 11,535 yar...

Rants & Raves: LIU

Image
The Jacks won 38-3 on a cold and damp September evening.  The Jacks dominated statistically in nearly every area but it didn't feel like a fully satisfying victory.  How spoiled have we become as Jackrabbit fans? Rave: How about that defense?  The argument could be made that they have only surrendered 17 points in 2 games.  Pretty impressive.  For most of the night Saturday LIU was completely overwhelmed by the size and speed of the Jackrabbit defense.  LIU managed only 123 yards of total offense.  The performance was phenominal, even against a transitioning FCS opponent. I'll highlight some of the invidual performances later. Rant: Adult fans... enough said.  This writer is tired of the apathy and excuses. Rave: Students!  Great job showing up, being loud, and impacting the game.  That was great! Rave: The true freshmen really showed out.  Quinton Hicks impacted the game from his first snap.  Diamond Evans played w...
