Tyler Wrice was hired as Jackrabbit Football's first-ever general manager in the spring of 2025.
Wrice's duties as general manager will include roster and scholarship management, assisting with Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) activities, and serving as a liaison to athletics and university administration.
"I'm really excited to have Tyler on board as South Dakota State's first general manager," head coach Dan Jackson said. "He's highly organized, really energetic and he's going to do a really good job for us as we continue to navigate recruiting, the transfer portal and staying ahead of the times."
Most recently, Wrice coached wide receivers and served as the college recruiting liaison at Westside High School in Omaha, Nebraska. He was a part of three Class A state championship teams (2020, 2022, 2023) and helped develop and mentor more than 30 student-athletes who went on to play collegiately.
Wrice played collegiately at North Dakota State and was a wide receiver on Bison teams that won Football Championship Subdivision national titles in 2013 and 2014.
