North Branch Viking quarterback Scott Bossard will attend the University of Minnesota-Duluth next fall, and has committed to play football for the 2010 NCAA Division II National Champions.

Bossard finished his career with 2,088 passing yards and 1,393 rushing yards and finishes third in total offense in North Branch school history.

He also ended his career with 31 touchdowns, including 16 passing and 15 rushing.

The three time letter winner and two time All North Suburban Conference selection received interest from North Dakota, South Dakota, University of Mary, St. Cloud State, Bemidji State, Augsburg, and St. Thomas during the recruiting process.

An official visit to UMD on January 26 helped convince Bossard to continue his education and football career as a UMD Bulldog.
