Michigan State has a player with the last name ‘Carson-Wentz’

If you were sitting at home on Friday night, enjoying the true opening weekend of college football, and happened to see the Michigan State Spartans playing the Florida Atlantic Owls, you probably saw a familiar name on the sideline.

This is Jack Carson-Wentz, a redshirt sophomore long snapper from Canton, Georgia. This is his first year playing for the Spartans after spending last season at West Georgia.

Carson-Wentz knows about all of the Carson Wentz jokes. After Friday’s game, he responded on X.

Here’s a funny one.
