NDSU QB Trey Lance Going Pro, Entering 2021 NFL Draft

Forgoing Spring Season

FARGO, ND — North Dakota State  quarterback,  Trey Lance, is moving on from the Bison.

Lance making it official he’s declaring  for the draft. The red-shirt sophomore is a projected first round draft pick and the number three overall Q.B. Prospect according to ESPN’s Mel Kiper.

By making this decision, the reigning FCS player of the year won’t be returning to school and forgoes the scheduled spring season  starting in late February.

The coaching staff was made aware of Lance’s choice on Sunday and shared with the team in a meeting this morning.

The deadline to decide is not until mid-January, however, head coach Matt Entz — says Lance’s belief in himself  made it happen quicker.

“His confidence in his own skills. Trey has done an outstanding job of preparing up until this point,” Entz said. “I think he has the confidence in himself physically and mentally. That was all he needed and he had the support of his family and coaches here at NDSU. I think that probably helped expedite the decision.”

Zeb Noland, who served as Lance’s back-up last season, now takes over the starting role.
