Trey Lance has a decision to make about his NFL future and luckily for the North Dakota State star, one of the NFL’s top signal-callers is only a phone call away.
Carson Wentz knows all too well what Lance is experiencing as the best player in the FCS but the current Bison star will have to navigate his final year of college in the midst of a pandemic that could cancel the entire college football season.
North Dakota State like so many programs, pushed their season back until the spring, and before that time, Lance will have to decide if he wants to declare and start training for the NFL Draft now, or stick around and play with his teammates during the draft season.
During his zoom meeting with the media on Monday, Wentz weighed-in and gave his take on the matter via Inforum.
“Thankfully, I’m not. It’s a tough situation.” Wentz said. “Just college football, in general, is tough. It’s tough on a lot of kids, it’s tough on the universities from funding to what do you do with scholarships next year and guys coming in and guys having extra years.
“I know Trey pretty well. I’ll get a chance to talk to him here probably soon about what the situation is. We’ve talked along the way as well.”
Lance helped lead the Bison to a third consecutive Division I FCS national championship this past January after passing for 2,786 yards and 28 touchdowns with no interceptions. He also rushed for 1,110 yards and 14 touchdowns on 169 attempts.
The 6-foot-3, 221-pound Lance could be the second or third quarterback selected next spring.
