per Shama:

Casey O’Brien, the University of Minnesota football player whose triumphs against cancer have been a national story, is on track to be cancer free next month. His father Dan O’Brien said a spot found on Casey’s lung last January was removed surgically earlier this year and the junior holder is finishing up chemo treatments. Casey will have his degree from the Carlson School of Business in December.

He is such an amazing young man and this is excellent news! I wish him continued good health and he is an inspiration to many who are battling cancer.

One of the all-time great stories for Gopher athletics. When he was on the field last year for a hold and the response from the crowd and his teammates...got more than a little dust in my eye at that exact moment.
