It's fun to see the development of these kids. He was 6'3 205 going to college. He's now 6'4" 240. That's two seasons of a college program. MN has some quality programs to look at. There are 8 D2 programs, St. Thomas, and 14 D3 programs that can develop a diamond in the ruff from time to time.
Very true and Dehnicke himself says he is 6'5" now, so clearly he has grown and added some good weight since high school and looks to be a very solid receiving prospect at the tight end position. I'm hoping we land him.
Looked like he had 49 tackles but no sacks, tfl, pass deflections or int's but only a Jr. Surprised they don't switch to linebacker at that size.
Thought he was gonna be our next Kamal/Lindenberg. I’m curious how this relates to the progression of Karmo, Stendel, etc.
You are thinking of Mason Carrier....Ethan is his brother
Another walk-on. Not sure we are going to have any walk-ons anymore.
Definitely was, gotta schedule that doctors appointment
And picking up on that theme, Kollock will be a redshirt freshman at his next stop.
It is hard to get a true gauge on it but we see it when the threads ranking the QBs come out and you go team by team and see all the transfers listed as being in their first year at the helm.
Great time for Dehnicke to transfer to the U. He's battle-tested and the Gophs have four TEs moving on from the program because of eligibility: Geers, Biber, Bierman and DiSano. Huge opportunity for Dehnicke to move into significant playing time right off the bat.
Recollection is his dad was a solid DE when he played here. Would be cool to see the kid follow in dad's footsteps and come play for the U.
I love reading your takes on GH. Was listening to a Duluth Radio Station a couple of days ago and they had him on as a guest (taped). He sounded like a wonderful young man. They actually brought up he NFL in the conversation. It sounded like he had an incredible year and after listening to him speak I can understand why we would want him.
Did we ever hear what the deal with him was this year?
When I saw the pick and #7 I got scared it was Fame Ijeboi. Whew
I looked back over some articles and all I found was a blip saying “personal reasons” or something like that in a Pioneer Press article early in the season.
It's weird because he was gone over fall practice, got married, but was at every game. Maybe anyone else with a less famous dad would have been told to kick rocks?
If he took a personal leave for mental health, it would be difficult for the school to pull his scholarship. That's kind of what I assumed was happening.
They just added 5 in the 2026 class and it sounds like they are high on Hayes and Martino, I think they’ll be fine. I wouldn’t be surprised if they add at least 1 in the portal too though.
Not too long ago it used to be rare for an underclassman to start at QB. I don’t know if these kids are expecting to start for like three or four years of college ball, but the lack of patience is crazy with some of these guys.
Welcome to a now culture and a bunch of people willing to whisper to you you could start elsewhere. Would be a fascinating study to see of the guys that transfer at qb, how many actually go on to start at their next transfer school and how their numbers look.
They didn’t show anything, so no big loss, right?
They’ll be plenty of portal options
Hayes didn’t even have a catch this year even Lanier had a few. What happened to Duke?
