“It has been a pleasure to continue our partnership with Jostens to craft these one-of-a-kind keepsakes which, thanks to the generosity of Team Makers, we will be awarding to each player and coach,” said Troy Goergen, Senior Associate Director of Athletics External Operations, NDSU. “We are also proud to unveil for our fans a custom selection of personalized jewelry with designs inspired by the FCS championship ring.”
To further celebrate this remarkable chapter in the program’s history, NDSU and Jostens have collaborated to create a custom selection of personalized jewelry and collectibles for Bison fans.
