Redshirt-freshman Bison QB with upside, but still waiting for his first real run
Henry Nelson is a 6-foot-3, 210-pound true freshman quarterback at North Dakota State, listed on the 2026 roster and recruiting class, but current public stat pages show no game production yet, and one recent report said he was ruled out for Sept. 13, 2026 with an undisclosed injury[1][2][3][4]. The appeal here is developmental upside: he has the frame NDSU likes in a QB, and the Bison’s track record suggests a fit for a smart, durable, system-driven passer rather than a flashy stat-stuffer[1][2].
