#79 not assigned so here's a Jaguar recruit:

Marcus Thompson (6-0, 215, DE) Eisenhower High School, Houston TX

Marcus is known around the Texas high school sports world as the "little BIG man." He plays far bigger than he looks. As a 6'0 defensive end his stature is not what you think but for his junior season he contributed 28 sacks on the year and made All-Conference. His senior year he was on the same path ending the season with 14. His presence on the field is a calm storm and he leaves it out there every game. Marcus also is an honor student who excels in the classroom and he wants to major in engineering. He is attending college courses this semester to help him gain some hours before entering college. Marcus is supported by Mr. and Mrs. Thompson who has instilled in him respect, accountability and hard work. That should be one of the key components that should help him to come in and compete early.

From a Bisonville poster

Per the 2007 Media Guide, pg. 109.

Only one number (79) has ever been retired in North Dakota State football history. It belonged to defensive tackle Paul Allen Bothof who played for the Bison from
1968 through 1970.

A two-year starter and an all-lconference selection in 1970, the 6-foot-6, 245-pound giant was called the “best-looking football player in this game” by a pro scout at the 1969 Camellia Bowl at the end of his junior season.

But Bothof’s career came to a tragic end on Sunday, October 25, 1970, two weeks before the end of the regular season, as he was the
victim of an accidental shooting while hunting.

No player has ever worn that jersey number for the Bison since.
