NC State a finalist for former 4-star quarterback and pro baseball player Cord Sandberg

Cord Sandberg is a former four-star dual-threat quarterback prospect in the high school class of ... 2013. Sandberg signed with Mississippi State out of high school, but he also got drafted in the third round of the MLB Draft by the Phillies, and opted to go the baseball route.

That didn’t work out, so he’s returning to football, where he still has a lot of interest from power-conference colleges. Sandberg will attend either Auburn, LSU, or NC State and will make a decision after visiting all three later this month.

“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.
