per the Daily:

An anterior cruciate ligament that tore last year in Cody Poock’s right knee doesn’t seem to be bothering the linebacker at the moment.

The redshirt sophomore’s 18 solo tackles through the Gophers first three games leads the team by six. Before this year, he last played in a regular season game with Iowa Western community college in 2013.

Poock tore his ACL in Minnesota’s 2014 spring game, but in his first start against Kent State this past weekend, he had eight solo tackles, leading his team by four.

“He’s got great instincts. He’s a hard-nosed, nasty old kid,” head coach Jerry Kill said. “[He] lets that hair grow, [he’s a] tough guy. [He’s the] kind of guy I wish I could recruit 100 of. He’s really playing at a high level right now, and we got him for two more years.”
