23-Year Old 4-Star QB Cord Sandberg Lists NC State in His Final 3

Published

6 years ago

on

Cord Sandberg (6’3″/205) was a 4-star dual threat quarterback prospect in the 2013 recruiting class, and originally signed with Mississippi State. He never made it to Mississippi State, spending the last 6 years after high school in the Philadelphia Phillies minor league system. Now, at the age of 23, Sandberg is looking to begin his college journey, and college football will be a part of it.

Sandberg has trimmed his list, and he is down to NC State, Auburn and LSU. He will be taking official visits to all three schools next week, with NC State being the first (NC State – July 25-26, Auburn – July 26-28, and LSU – July 28-29).

Back in 2013, Sandberg was the #158 overall player in the 2013 class according to Rivals, and the #8 dual threat quarterback.

Sandbergs offer sheet back in 2013 was quite impressive, including Auburn, Clemson, Ole Miss, LSU, UNC, Texas Tech, UCF, West Virginia and others.

Sandberg told Rivals why NC State, Auburn and LSU are his three finalists.

“Those are the three schools I want to visit,” Sandberg said. “I have definitely enjoyed my conversations with those coaches staffs and I feel good about those situations.”

“Offensively, N.C. State and Auburn are a little more similar as far as the spread (offense), and LSU is maybe working to be more of a spread,” Sandberg said. “I feel comfortable with the conversations I’ve had with all of those guys and what my role would be playing quarterback at all of those schools.” (Rivals)

As a Senior at Manatee High School in Bradenton, Florida, he passed for 2,674 yards, completed 70.4% of his passes, and threw 35 touchdowns with only 1 interception.
