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.
A quick glance at the Michigan State sideline and the No. 83 jersey appeared with the name “Carson-Wentz” on the back. Yes, you read that correctly.
Here’s the visual:
No way his last name is Carson Wentz

No, it’s not that Carson Wentz, the starting quarterback for the Eagles, Colts and Commanders at different times from 2016-22, who is now with the Kansas City Chiefs as a backup.
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.
