Justin Lamson finds a home at FCS champion Montana State after making stops at Syracuse and Stanford
Lamson passed for 3,172 yards and 26 touchdowns while rushing for 734 yards and 16 scores as Montana State won its first FCS title since 1984.
Montana State defeated Illinois State 35-34 on Saturday to win its first Championship Subdivision title since 1984, with quarterback Lamson leading the Bobcats offense in the championship thriller.
Lamson, a former reserve at Syracuse and Stanford, transferred to Montana State after briefly joining Bowling Green, where he reunited with Bobcats coach Brent Vigen who had recruited him previously.
During the championship season, Lamson completed 71.6% of his passes for 3,172 yards with 26 touchdowns and three interceptions, while rushing for 734 yards and 16 additional touchdowns.
Rejecting the transfer portal for a Bowl Subdivision program, Lamson chose to remain with Vigen and offensive coordinator Pete Sterbick. "That's really what I was looking for," Lamson said.
Working toward a master's degree in finance, Lamson is preparing to chase another championship title. "I want to continue to be more of a polished quarterback," he said.
