What a way to kick off #D3FB season for @football_ncc ! Incredible, gutty performance by both teams w/ oppressive, tropical Dew Points. Hats off to @BethelRoyalsFB solid program- may see them again in the Playoffs.

[D3football.com @d3football]

Bethel misses a short field goal, and two plays later, this. Garret Wilson hits David Ballard III and he takes it for a 80 yard touchdown. 7-0 North Central, 11:13 in the 1st. #d3fb

What’s the secret to 6 consecutive NCAA National Championship appearances? @northcentralcol football team tells us it’s their culture of family & love. That’s why starting quarterback @Garret_Wilson15 says he transferred here from Oklahoma State in the Big 12 Conference.

[NCC Cardinals @NCC_Athletics]

No. 1 vs No. 2 for the first time in history to begin a season!

[Stagg Again!! @StaggAgain]

We had a fantastic (but chilly) morning in Naperville watching @football_ncc. Don’t tell anyone, but I think this team is gonna be pretty darned good this fall!!

[CCIW @CCIW_Athletics]

Not every football path is linear, but Garret Wilson found the right one at North Central. 🏈

After leading the NCC to the Stagg Bowl, Wilson shares why Division III football, team culture and brotherhood made Naperville feel like home.
