Mike Ballweber, president of Doosan Bobcat North America in West Fargo, said in a statement Monday that Wentz embodies Bobcat's high standards of performance.

"We are excited to have such an accomplished and principled athlete, who shares a deep connection to North Dakota, representing our brand," Ballweber said. "Carson demonstrates perseverance, grit and a tireless work ethic both on and off the field, which truly embodies Bobcat's standards of performance and toughness."

Wentz will be featured prominently within marketing efforts for Bobcat, including advertising, dealership signage and the company's digital and social media platforms. He will make appearances on behalf of the company as well.

"I wanted to partner with Bobcat knowing their values and being a North Dakota-based company," Wentz said. "They are the most trusted brand in the industry, and they understand who I am as a person and the values I have. Partnering with Bobcat was definitely a no-brainer for me."

As part of the partnership, Wentz will receive a variety of compact equipment, including a Bobcat compact tractor CT2035 and attachments and implements to use on his land. Wentz plans to use Bobcat equipment to help with clearing vegetation, pushing snow, land grading and moving dirt and rock on his properties.

"With his unique combination of character, leadership and determination, we are excited to support Carson with Bobcat equipment to empower him to do more in his time off the field," said Laura Ness Owens, vice president of marketing, communication and public affairs at Doosan Bobcat North America. "As a homeowner with acreage who enjoys working the land, he is an ideal ambassador for Bobcat's compact tractors and equipment."

Wentz also has partnerships with at least two other North Dakota-based businesses: Scheels and BlackRidgeBANK.
