FARGO — Zeb Noland knows he's got big shoes to fill at North Dakota State. He says he's ready for the challenge.
He tells WDAY's Dom Izzo: "I look up to Brock Jensen, Carson Wentz and Easton Stick, even before I thought about going there (NDSU). I'm coming up there not to do anything drastic, just be the best version of myself and try to fill those shoes the best I can." Noland said.
Noland comes to Fargo after two years at Iowa State, he started four games this season before he was replaced by true freshman Brock Purdy. Noland threw for 722 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in five games in 2017.
