NDSU Receives QB Injury Update Ahead Of UTEP Game

North Dakota State quarterback Nathan Hayes is listed as questionable for the upcoming matchup against UTEP due to an ankle injury sustained during a recent 21-16 defeat to New Mexico. Head coach Tim Polasek noted that while Hayes remains the preferred starter, the team is preparing backups Preston Brown and Trey Drake in case he cannot play.

Brown has previously contributed 36 rushing yards and four passing yards, while Drake has recorded 39 passing yards in limited appearances. Polasek emphasized that the coaching staff will rely on Hayes if he is medically cleared, as the offense has struggled to find consistency this season.

The Bison are currently navigating their first year of FBS competition while managing various physical setbacks for their primary signal-caller.
