Zane Busekist was hired as linebackers coach at South Dakota State in January 2025.
Busekist spent the past two seasons at Boise State, where he served as assistant defensive line coach. The Broncos went a combined 20-8 in winning back-to-back Mountain West Conference championships, including qualifying for the 12-team College Football Playoff and a berth in the Fiesta Bowl this past season.
“Zane is young, motivated, hungry and a highly intelligent coach who will make a difference with our linebackers,” Jackrabbit head coach Dan Jackson said in announcing the hire. “He’s from the great of Nebraska and will do a phenomenal job recruiting down there.”
In 2024, Boise State set a single-season school record with 55 sacks and allowed an average of 3.4 yards per rushing attempt during the regular season.
Busekist began his coaching career as a graduate assistant defensive line and outside linebackers coach at Nebraska in 2022 while working on his master’s degree in business administration.
