per Marcus:

Sherels was promoted from defensive graduate assistant to linebackers coach in the spring to replace veteran Billy Miller, who left for Florida State. And the transition has been as smooth as he could have hoped.

"I'm living my dream every single day," Sherels said Friday. "I feel like I'm still a young player out there. I'm having fun with the guys. It's a good balance. I'm grateful enough to learn from (Miller) as a graduate assistant and volunteer assistant. I'm very thankful for that, but I certainly have my own style."

Redshirt sophomore linebacker Jack Lynn described Sherels as "young and vibrant."

"He just loves to be out there," Lynn said. "He just loves coaching football. You can tell by the way he talks and the way he acts -- how he approaches the game and attacks the film."

Go Gophers!!
 

I hope he has a long career right here.

Just wish he was still posting here though. He was great.
 


The photo in the PP reminded me of just how more red our maroon unis and helmets were during his time on the team.
 

Such a feel good story. How great would it be to see him morph into a head coach here 20 years from now?
