Biography

Zebuliah Noland (born August 16, 1997) is a former American football quarterback who works as a graduate assistant coach for the South Carolina Gamecocks. He played college football for Iowa State and North Dakota State, before drawing media attention upon being added to the Gamecocks' roster, where he was named their starting quarterback, despite being a graduate assistant with the team.

Early life

Noland, the son of Travis and Julie Noland, was born in Watkinsville, Georgia. He played high school football at Oconee County High School under his father, a former Appalachian State quarterback. He earned all-region honors twice, and led the team to their first regional championship since 2004. Rated the No. 60 pro-style quarterback in his class by 247Sports, Noland received offers from Toledo, Middle Tennessee, Colorado State, Richmond, FIU, and Appalachian State. He ultimately committed to Appalachian State on June 6, 2015, but later rescinded that commitment upon receiving an offer from Iowa State. He signed a letter of intent and committed to Iowa State on December 21, 2015, and formally enrolled less than a month later.

College career

Iowa State

After sitting out as a redshirt freshman in 2016, Noland saw his first action at Iowa State the following year. He played in four contests for the Cyclones in 2017, including a start in Iowa State's win against Baylor. He saw further game time in 2018, playing in five games for Iowa State. Following the conclusion of the season, Noland transferred to North Dakota State.

North Dakota State

Arriving in Fargo as a redshirt junior, Noland competed for the starting role with Trey Lance and Noah Sanders, ultimately earning the second spot on the depth chart behind Lance. He made eight appearances for the Bison in 2019; North Dakota State would go on to win the national championship that season. Following Lance's departure for the National Football League, Noland ascended to the starting role, and made seven starts for North Dakota State in the spring 2021 season (delayed from fall 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic). He led the team in total offense and finished with a 5–2 record as a starter for the Bison.

Head coach Matt Entz announced Noland's departure from the program on April 25, 2021, with Noland reported to have taken a Power Five coaching job.

South Carolina

In May 2021, Noland was hired as a graduate assistant coach at South Carolina. He received media attention after being added to the roster and promoted to the starting quarterback position, despite being a member of the coaching staff, following an injury to starter Luke Doty in practice. He made his debut for the Gamecocks on September 4, 2021, throwing for 121 yards and four touchdowns in South Carolina's 46–0 season-opening win against Eastern Illinois. On September 18, against Georgia, Noland suffered a hand injury on the Gamecocks' first possession of the game, and was replaced by Doty in what was a 40–13 blowout for Georgia. On October 16, against Vanderbilt, Noland replaced Doty and led the Gamecocks on a game-winning drive in a 21–20 win. Noland was named the starter again, after it was confirmed that Doty had reinjured his foot, ending his season. On October 23, against Texas A&M, Noland was benched in the fourth quarter for Jason Brown, and it was later revealed that he would undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. Although he hoped to make it in time to start against Florida, Noland missed the next three games, and replaced Jason Brown in the fourth quarter of a shutout loss to Clemson. Noland made his final appearance for the Gamecocks at the 2021 Duke's Mayo Bowl, and although wide receiver Dakereon Joyner was favored over him, he still managed to complete three pass attempts for 82 yards and a touchdown.

In 2022, Noland returned to his previous role as a graduate assistant coach.
