North Dakota State quarterback Easton Stick has drawn the curiosity of NFL scouts since he went 8-0 as a redshirt freshman in 2015 while future No. 2 overall draft pick Carson Wentz was injured.
Stick is now finally a senior with a 48-3 career record and one game to go — the FCS national championship. The 6-foot-2, 221-pound quarterback has already accepted an invite to the East-West Shrine Game as his stock rises.

He's also drawn the praise of The Athletic's Dane Brugler, who ranks Stick the No. 9 quarterback in the NFL Draft.
From the article: "The heir apparent to Carson Wentz for the Bison, Stick isn’t as physically impressive as Wentz and won’t be drafted nearly as high, but he is a mobile passer with the ability to fire strikes on the move. He loves to distribute the wealth all over the field and projects as the type of mind that would be valuable in a quarterback meeting room."
Stick, who is a Top 3 Walter Payton Award finalist (best offensive player in the FCS), has played in 54 games as a Bison. His career numbers feature a completion percentage of 61%, 8,495 yards passing with 86 touchdowns to 26 interceptions. Stick also has tremendous speed with 2,402 career rushing yards for 38 touchdowns
