Trey Lance played football at Marshall High School in Marshall, Minnesota. The school has a strong presence today at TCO Performance Minnesota for the joint practice between the San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings arranged to have buses filled with athletes, coaches, and staff to watch Lance (and the Vikings, of course). According to the school's head football coach, Terry Bahlmann, 115 people from the high school are there.
Terry Bahlmann, the head football coach at Marshall High School, tells me there are 115 athletes, coaches and staff at today's practice to watch alum Trey Lance and the #49ers practice against the Vikings.

The 49ers don't expect Lance to play in Saturday's preseason matchup between the two teams, so this is the last opportunity for those from Marshall High School to see the alum and rising NFL star.
On Wednesday, Lance was asked what this homecoming meant for him.
"I was excited, for sure," Lance said. "I get to see my family, see some friends. But it's work at this point. I come out here; these two days of practice should be awesome for us, and Saturday as well. ... The Vikings, appreciate them, they actually got some buses from my high school team to come out tomorrow, so I get to say what's up to some high school coaches and some teammates as well."
