About Trey Lance
Trey Aubrey Lance is an American professional football quarterback who last played for the Los Angeles Chargers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the North Dakota State Bison, winning the Walter Payton and Jerry Rice Awards as a freshman en route to a victory in the 2020 NCAA Division I Football Championship Game. Lance was selected third overall by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2021 NFL draft, but limited play and injuries led to him being traded after two seasons to the Dallas Cowboys. Lance spent two seasons as a backup with the Cowboys before signing with the Chargers in 2025. Lance played running back in youth football and first played at quarterback in middle school. For his performance that season, Lance won the Walter Payton Award as the FCS's most outstanding offensive player and the Jerry Rice Award as the FCS's best freshman. The 49ers selected Lance, making him their first first-round quarterback since Alex Smith in 2005 and the second-highest drafted FCS player after fellow NDSU quarterback Carson Wentz. Lance was redshirted at North Dakota State for the 2018 season, but played in two games in which he recorded two rushing touchdowns.
