Captain O’Brien
Gophers redshirt freshman long snapper Casey O’Brien was on the travel roster and served as a captain for Saturday’s game. O’Brien, a Cretin-Derham Hall graduate, has battled a rare form of bone cancer and said in a team meeting this week that he received a clean scan.
“Casey’s been around the program for a while and has continued to defy the odds with cancer,’’ Fleck said. “He’s such a motivational, inspirational person in our program, and he’s never traveled before. To bring him on a trip and give him that experience. … This is about creating moments and memories.
“He deserves it, his teammates love him,’’ Fleck added. “It was a very special moment for our football team.’’
