Gophers 2016 Captains Named: Leidner, Travis, Lynn and Lingen

[BleedGopher]

per GopherSports:

Former captains gather every year to pass the torch from one to another until it is passed to the captains for the following season. The 2015 captains – Briean Boddy-Calhoun, Eric Murray, KJ Maye and Mitch Leidner – then passed the torch to the group that will lead the Gophers in 2016. That group will be Leidner, Damarius Travis, Jack Lynn and Brandon Lingen.

Was it weird for JT Barrett to be a captain and not the starter for half (?) the season?

You realize he's been captain for the past two season?

I don't know

I dont think Leidner is being benched...

Good group of captains. It will be really nice to have Travis back next year. He's like an extra LB on the field.

I was going for sarcasm

I like Mitch and think he'll be our starter next year pending injury

Lynn over Poock. Better vocal leader?

I didn't realize Damarius Travis was confirmed 100% as coming back next year, but I probably just haven't been paying close enough attention.

I don't think there has been any kind of official announcement.

Lynn will be a senior, Poock will be a junior.
