Two University of South Dakota football players are heading to the NFL. Offensive tackle Alex Jensen and long snapper Dalton Godfrey have agreed to terms with the Miami Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles respectively.

In a statement released by USD, Jensen signed an undrafted free agent contract with the Miami Dolphins upon the conclusion of the NFL Draft.

“I am beyond thankful for this opportunity to become an undrafted free agent with the Miami Dolphins organization,” said Jensen. “The support at South Dakota has helped me tremendously get to this position. Being a Coyote means so much, and I am so appreciative of everyone who has invested into the program over the years to help make opportunities like this possible.”

Jensen is a two-time all-MVFC performer who started 38 games for the Coyotes over the past four seasons.
