per Randy:
Blake Cashman burst on the scene as a sophomore in 2016, leading the Gophers with 7 ½ sacks and earning defensive MVP honors in the Holiday Bowl. Last year, however, he was a reserve linebacker backing up Jonathan Celestin and playing on special teams.
As he enters his senior season, Cashman, a former Eden Prairie standout, is ready for an expanded role.
“I’m expecting a big year,’’ Cashman said Tuesday during Gophers football media day. “This offseason I focused on getting stronger and faster during the spring. I got my weight up [to 235 pounds] and strength up. I’m hoping that will help me out, especially when we’re facing bigger, stronger teams.’’
Cashman was limited during spring practice because of a shoulder injury but is ready to compete for a starting job at weak-side linebacker. Senior Julian Huff is expected to be in the mix, too.
“My shoulder is all healed up,’’ Cashman said. “I’m very thrilled this season to see how it holds up and if I stay healthy.’’
