Ah yes, No. 15 is on board.
On Monday, just minutes before midnight, North Dakota State welcomed commitment No. 15 to the recruiting class of 2017 when Wisconsin native Seth Wilson joined the five-time champions. Wilson is a 5-foot-10, 195-pound running back who finished his senior season with 2,027 yards rushing and 38 total touchdowns in only 11 games, while also returning three kickoffs for touchdowns. He can hit the hole, disappear in the ensuing melee and re-emerge cleanly on the other side before an opponent knows what hit him.

Unofficial NDSU class spokesmen Zach Willis and Isaiah Hill were thrilled with this week's news. The Bison hadn't landed a new addition in nearly three months.
"He's got some crazy film, very explosive," Willis told HERO Sports. "I'm glad we got him, he's going to be a great player. I've met everyone in person now, except I think I missed Isaiah. He seems like a great guy … We all have our own group chat, we talk to each other and when we see each other succeeding in our home states, we get excited for each other. Everyone is great, very talented and eager to get here. I can't wait to see what the next five years bring for all of us."
Hill, a receiver, agreed.
"I can tell you that we have some talent coming in," Hill told HERO Sports. "I've watched a few of the commits' highlights, the skill positions, and got excited about it. Guys are coming in that can do great things with the ball. NDSU has been having an awesome season. They beat No. 13 Iowa which is awesome. They've been having tighter games than I was expecting them to have but hey, they still have been getting the Ws."
