per Joe:
In Hart’s case, his father, Pat, was a center for the Gophers in the 1980s. Hart drew interest from South Dakota State, North Dakota and some Division II schools, but the U always was his dream.
“Growing up a Gopher fan, going to all the Gopher games growing up, there’s not a single other place in the world that I wanted to be,” Hart said. “And the fact they gave me an opportunity to come here, walk-on or not, I was all over it.”
Reeves, who coaches the tight ends, said the staff thought about putting Hart at wide receiver when he came in at 215 pounds. But the 6-5 Hart has grown to 250 pounds.
“He’s a phenomenal athlete,” Reeves said. “He’s playing aggressive, physical football and hasn’t missed a step. He’s got great hands, so he’s a tremendous story just because of how hard he’s worked to get to where he is today.”
