per WCCO:
The Gopher football team left Thursday for Detroit and their bowl date with Central Michigan. One team member playing his final game is reflective this Christmas season.
KJ Maye has grown comfortable on the Gophers’ practice field, now filled with memories.
“This is like my sanctuary,” he said. “Coming in here after a long day of school, a long day of everything, a lot on your mind. When I step on this field, it’s like a playground. Everything goes away.”
He came to Minnesota to play for Coach Jerry Kill. Growing up in Alabama, he says he’ll never forget the night he committed to the Gophers in his kitchen.
“I said, ‘Coach, I want to be a Gopher.’ He jumped in my arms!” Maye said.
