He attended ‘Century High School’ in Bismarck, where he played as a quarterback and a defensive back for his school football team. An avid sportsman from an early age, he also played baseball and basketball for the ‘Patriots.’
He was six feet and five inches tall by his senior year, which gave him an advantage on the field. He was also good in academics and graduated as a valedictorian of his class. He then joined the ‘NDSU’ in 2011.
He started his college career by redshirting his first season with the ‘North Dakota State Bison’ football team in 2011. The team won its first ‘FCS’ title that year. He was a redshirt freshman the following year and played as a backup quarterback. He threw his first touchdown in a victory over the ‘Prairie View A&M Panthers.’ He ended his redshirt sophomore season in 2013 as a second-string quarterback, with his best performance against ‘Delaware State.’

He signed a four-year contract for $26.67 million, with a $17.6 million bonus to play for the team. Although he suffered a rib injury in a pre-season game, he was fit enough to play for the regular season that year.

He was also selected for his first ‘Pro Bowl’ but could not play due to the knee surgery.
He returned to the field after the first two games of the 2018 season, against the ‘Indianapolis Colts.’ He was ranked third on the ‘NFL Top 100 Players of 2018’ list.
