π HONORARY CAPTAIN OF THE WEEK π North Dakota's Kaden Vig & NM's JJ Safranski
Description
This week on the FCS Nation x Northwestern Mutual x Alexβs Lemonade Stand Foundation Challenge, weβre spotlighting one of the top defensive forces, and culture-setters in the country: Kaden Vig, edge rusher for the No. 4 North Dakota Fighting Hawks.
Fresh off a dominant win over Stoneβs alma mater, Southern Illinois, Kaden joins us to talk about whatβs driving UNDβs rise, how the teamβs identity has evolved under Head Coach Eric Schmidt, and what it means to represent the program in this seasonβs Challenge.
More than just an athlete, Kaden embodies what this partnership is all about, purpose, leadership, and using your platform for something bigger. As UND prepares to take on Indiana State this week, Kaden shares insight into the teamβs mindset, his approach to leadership, and why standing for kids battling childhood cancer through Alexβs Lemonade Stand Foundation gives every snap a deeper meaning.
Tune in, get inspired, and help us turn FCS fandom into impact. ππͺ
