This major sporting event is capturing the attention of college football fans nationwide as Lamson looks to secure a title for the 13-2 Bobcats.
Bobcat head coach Brent Vigen expressed his confidence in Lamson, stating, “Justin was a high target of ours” back when Vigen was recruiting in high school. His journey has been anything but ordinary, filled with twists that have shaped him into one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the FCS.

Entering the championship game, Lamson has recorded an impressive 24 passing touchdowns against just three interceptions, alongside 14 rushing touchdowns. His remarkable performance has made him a key player to watch as the Bobcats aim for victory.
“For it to come back to fruition the way it has, I’m just grateful,” Vigen remarked about his long-standing relationship with Lamson.
As excitement builds for the championship, fans are eager to see if Lamson can deliver a victory that would mark a significant achievement for Montana State football. With the game airing live on ESPN, the stage is set for a thrilling showdown.
