per the Pierce County Herald:
“I enrolled in a graduate certificate course to stay eligible which involved online course work and lot of reading and other busywork for school,” Filkins said. “But it was a lot less time consuming than playing football during a regular school year. It allowed me to work out a horse barn in Jordan, Minnesota, which I enjoyed a lot. It kept me fresh for football practice and games. “
Filkins future plans entailed graduate school for chiropractic care at Northwestern. But his special teams coach has told him some NFL clubs are starting to show interest in Filkins as a long-snapper, which has him excited about a potential pro career.
“Grad school is definitely Plan B for right now,” Filkins said. “I plan to come back to Minneapolis after the bowl game and work out all winter and spring to stay in shape and hope I can sign with an NFL team. They don’t exactly draft long-snappers but I like to pursue a pro career if I have opportunity to do so.”
