Marcus Fuller: For Gophers kicker Jordan Wettstein, opportunity knocks, finally

[GopherLady]

I gotta admit, I love this kid! He came into the press conference today with a Packer hat on. It was so funny, the SID immediately told him to take it off.

On top of football, he has a 3.8 GPA at Carlson....I would expect nothing less from a great kid from right outside of Green Bay!

Too bad they have the wrong picture in the article. That is Hawthorne in the photo, not Wettstein.

Lol - how can you tell? Maybe that's why they picked a pic where you couldn't see his jersey #.

Because Hawthorne is 6'4 and Wettstein is about 5'9, which in this picture, would make Jerry Kill about 5'3.

Wettstein is also a Junior, not a Sophomore like the caption said under the incorrect photo. Poor editorial job Pioneer Press!

maxmom would also know because she/he is clearly a family member or close friend of Wettstein.

Wettstein one of the great story lines this year.

I'll never forget that onside kick.

Always great to see a story like this and good to know we have some kicking depth.
