Easton Stick’s QB Clinic Continues to Grow in Fargo

FARGO (KVRR) – Former North Dakota State, and current Indianapolis Colts quarterback Easton Stick returned to Fargo on Wednesday to host his annual quarterback clinic, bringing together some of the region’s top college and high school passers for a day focused on development both on and off the field.

“Even in the four years we’ve done this, to see like the level… it gets better every year,” Stick said.

The clinic featured a strong turnout once again, including members of NDSU’s quarterback room and Moorhead standout Jett Feeney, a Minnesota Golden Gophers commit.

For NDSU senior quarterback Nathan Hayes, the event has become a yearly tradition.

“This is my fourth time being here, so I’ve been here since the start, seeing it grow a little bit,” Hayes said. “I think this is the biggest group that we’ve had, so it’s awesome seeing. Just the recognition that he gets, how consistent he is with putting this on, and the type of job him and his team do to make this happen.”

Feeney echoed that sentiment, highlighting the opportunity to learn from quarterbacks and coaches with different backgrounds and experiences.

“It’s great being here. I get to learn a lot,” Feeney said. “From Easton, obviously, and then all the other quarterbacks here, all the different coaches. It’s great to learn from all these different strategies.”

As the clinic continues to grow, Stick says seeing familiar faces return year after year is one of the most rewarding parts of the experience.

“Sometimes you don’t get a ton of feedback when you’re out here,” Stick said. “So when they come back, I think that’s as good a feedback as you can get. We’re doing things that are fun and beneficial.”

While quarterback fundamentals remain a major focus of the clinic, Stick hopes the lessons extend beyond throwing mechanics and footwork.

“Fundamentals—let’s get better at playing the position—but we also are going to talk a ton about leadership and what that looks like in their schools and their communities,” Stick said. “I hope that’s the part of it that guys walk away and feel a little bit more comfortable with.”

Now entering his eighth NFL season, Stick signed with Indianapolis after spending last year with Atlanta. Despite a career spent largely in backup roles, his passion for the game remains strong.

“I still love to play,” Stick said. “All you’re looking for is that opportunity. So I just keep showing up and trying to do the best I can. Hopefully that opportunity comes to get a chance to play meaningful football.”

Until then, Stick continues making an impact in the Fargo community, helping develop the next generation of quarterbacks while sharing the lessons he’s learned from nearly a decade in professional football.
