Whaley was going to be a great addition to the gophers last year until he "shot" himself again. What team is he on this year? 
What is Kevin Whaley doing this year?

Whaley
He enrolled at University of TN - Martin. He practiced with the team for several weeks and left sometime before April. I found no other information about him. I too hope he turns his life around.
Here's an article:
Where's Kevin Whaley?
Kevin Whaley, the former Salem High School football star, apparently hasn't stuck at a new school since leaving the University of Minnesota early this year.
Whaley's short stint at Tennessee-Martin is over. On Thursday, Ryne Rickman, an athletic communications assistant at UT-M, told me Whaley had indeed worked out with the team for a few weeks, but he has since left and not returned: "No word on his whereabouts."
Whaley, a running back who left Salem as South Hampton Roads' all-time leading rusher, was released from his scholarship in Minnesota after being arrested and charged with assault outside a nightclub. That incident - on New Year's Day after the Gophers played in the Insight Bowl game in Scottsdale, Ariz. - led to Whaley's suspension and ultimately his departure. Minnesota officials said Whaley planned to transfer.
Whaley became the area's all-time leading rusher and scorer while at Salem in Virginia Beach from 2004-07.
As a redshirt freshman last season, Whaley was Minnesota's second-leading rusher. He sat out his first year at Minnesota while recovering from a gunshot wound he suffered in Virginia Beach.

It's a shame that people can be that self-destructive. There are plenty of athletes who see a college scholarship as the brass ring. Getting that college degree - without racking up huge debts - can be a real life changer.
