Easton Stick

College career

Stick graduated from Creighton Preparatory School in Omaha, Nebraska, and played college football at North Dakota State University.

2015

Stick took his first snaps against the Weber State Wildcats where he ran for 24 yards on 3 attempts in a 41–14 win. His first start as a Bison was against the Indiana State Sycamores, where he passed for 126 yards and one touchdown in a 28–14 victory. In two games he threw for four touchdowns in each, being a 59–7 win against the Western Illinois Leathernecks, and a 55–0 win over the Missouri State Bears. The Bison went on to win the FCS Championship Game against Jacksonville State, 37–10.

2016

Stick earned the starting job after previous starter Carson Wentz was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles. In Week 3 of the 2016 season, NDSU beat #13 Iowa Hawkeyes 23–21, in a game that went to a walk off field goal. Their lone loss in the regular season was against the South Dakota State Jackrabbits, in a game where SDSU would come back from a 17–3 deficit in the third quarter to beat NDSU on a 2 yard touchdown pass with 2 seconds remaining. They got revenge on them in the FCS Quarterfinals 36–10, again in Fargo. The Bison would lose 27–17 in the semifinals a week later against James Madison.

2017

In the first game of the 2017 season, NDSU beat Mississippi Valley State 72–7. The Bison had 683 total yards, including 498 yards rushing, and holding MVSU to just 58 yards.

With a 49–3 record as a starter at North Dakota State, Stick holds the record for most wins by a starting quarterback in Football Championship Subdivision history, shared with South Dakota State University quarterback Mark Gronowski.
