Nov. 29—GRAND FORKS — UND football’s all-time leader in passing yards, completions and touchdown passes is looking for a new home.
Quarterback Tommy Schuster, who has started for the Fighting Hawks for more than four seasons, entered the transfer portal on Wednesday.
Schuster has one season of eligibility remaining. He played in fewer than four games when he was thrust into action as a true freshman, protecting his redshirt status, while he also played during the 2020-21 season that the NCAA has granted a free season of eligibility due to the impact of COVID-19.
The 6-foot Macomb, Mich., native threw for more than 2,200 yards in 2023 on 208-for-294 passing with five interceptions to 19 touchdown passes.
In 2023, Schuster thrived at times — throwing for a combined nine touchdowns in back-to-back weeks against Indiana State and Murray State.
Schuster and UND’s offense also struggled against the top defenses on the schedule, offensively shut out at Northern Iowa and at South Dakota. In a first-round home playoff loss to Sacramento State last Saturday, Schuster was 11-for-17 for 137 yards and was sacked four times in the second half.
Schuster’s production took off in Grand Forks after a humble beginning. The Hawks recruited Schuster after a long previous commitment from Cedric Case of Lincoln, Neb., was flipped right before signing day.

Schuster’s departure leaves UND with two heralded quarterback prospects to compete for the starting job during spring ball.
Moorhead product Trey Feeney, a former Minnesota high school player of the year, played late in seven games in 2023. Feeney, a 6-foot-3 sophomore left-hander and the son of former North Dakota State star Kevin…
