Trivia question

When was the last time NDSU signed the North Dakota Gatorade Player of the Year?

For those not familiar, I think only four of the 22 kids who got the award got signed by DI teams. Of course, now that NDSU and UND are both going to be DI, I'd expect that number to climb fairly rapidly.

I'm not sure how this happened, but he didn't get it. That QB from Lisbon must have had a phenomenal year.

I'm guessing Chad Simmers. Was that in '94?

Bingo - it was 96 though.

North Dakota Gatorade POY's who went to NDSU:

Chad Simmers 1996-97 Football LB/RB Fargo
Kevin Feeney 1993-94 QB/DB Bismarck
Matt Roller 1992-93 RB Devils Lake
Tony Satter 1986-87 RB Fargo

Pretty good group of players. You could do a lot worse in the backfield than Feeney - QB, Roller - FB, Satter - RB. I'm pretty sure they were all four-year starters too.
