FARGO, N.D. (AP) - Former North Dakota State University quarterback Carson Wentz has been honored for his excellence not on the field but in the classroom.

The award is given by the College Sports Information Directors of America.

Wentz is preparing for training camp with the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles, who drafted him second overall.
