Quinn Carroll
Notre Dame offensive lineman
The No. 1-ranked prospect in Minnesota in 2018 out of Edina, Carroll was sidelined as a true freshman year by a season-ending knee injury. After a full recovery, the 6-7, 300-pound Carroll is competing for a backup tackle spot this fall when the 10th-ranked Irish — playing a full ACC schedule in 2020 — open the season vs. Duke on Saturday.
Trey Lance
North Dakota State quarterback
The 6-3 sophomore from Marshall, Minn., is one of the top QB prospects for the 2021 NFL draft. After throwing for 2,786 yards with 28 touchdowns and zero interceptions as a freshman, Lance will only get one shot to impress scouts this year. The three-time defending FCS champion Bison play Oct. 3 vs. Central Arkansas before their fall season is postponed.
Antonio Montero
Rice linebacker
The former Star Tribune All-Metro Player of the Year and Eden Prairie star ranked second on the team with 83 tackles as a sophomore last season. The Owls are working with Conference USA on when to open the season in October after postponing their fall camp start this month.
Alex Probert
Iowa State kicker
The graduate transfer from Liberty made 13-of-19 field goals in 2019, including a career-long 51-yarder vs. New Mexico State. The former Andover standout is projected as the starting kicker for the Cyclones when they open the season Saturday against Louisiana Lafayette.
