It was a whirlwind weekend for North Dakota State. After the Bison ran through in-state rival North Dakota 42-21 on Saturday, they found out they would be receiving the #3 overall seed in this year’s FCS playoffs on Sunday morning. Just hours after that, they learned they would be losing three of their players to the transfer portal.
Cornerback Marques Sigle, receiver D.J. Hart and running back Dominic Gonnella all announced their departure from the program. All three were beginning to emerge as solid players on NDSU’s roster.
The sophomore Sigle made a name for himself on the defense this season, grabbing two interceptions and forcing a fumble.
