Earlier this week I wrote about Noah Wanzek and his quest to play professionally. However, there are a couple more Hawks working out to fulfill their childhood dreams of being pro football players, as well. DE Mason Bennett and WR Travis Toivonen are both currently training in hopes of getting a shot at some level,…

Coming out of high school Noah Wanzek was a bit of an unknown in the football world. The former Mr. Basketball candidate from Jamestown, ND was known for his prowess on the court but not as much for his work on the field. I remember when when UND was recruiting Wanzek and word came out…
In my previous post I wrote about UND receiving their earliest commitment ever in Park River product Sam Hagen. A junior committing this early to an FCS school was definitely unique but in hindsight it may have been a sign of things to come. UND AD Bill Chaves recently announced that “all University-sponsored summer events…
We had speculated for awhile now that Robbie Rouse was a legit candidate for the running backs opening on UND’s staff. Bubba Schweigert made it official on Wednesday. Rouse told me earlier today that he is set to be in Grand Forks this weekend to get the ball rolling. Rouse comes to Grand Forks from…
With practice just wrapping up this morning, UND is officially six practices into their 2020 spring season. It has been a fairly quiet spring thus far but that doesn’t mean moves aren’t being made on the field. We have been able to put together some tidbits and notes for you and will relay what we…
In a mild surprise, UND athletic director Bill Chaves announced on Monday that he awarded head coach Bubba Schweigert with a four-year contract extension. The extension takes Schweigert’s contract through the 2023 season. Schweigert’s salary will be $215,000 in 2020 and increase to $245,000 in the final year. The Hawks have made the playoffs twice…
The kickoff of spring ball wasn’t the only big event going down last Friday/Saturday. The Hawks also held their second Junior Day in conjunction with practice on those two mornings. We were told they hosted around 25 prospective student-athletes from the Class of 2021. The big news out of the weekend were the inevitable offers…
What happened to the winter “off-season”? On Wednesday, UND released their roster for the upcoming 2020 spring season, which starts next Friday, February 28th. Time to get back to work. As usual there has been some turnover and some new additions to the roster, many of which have been discussed over the past couple months….
After a mini-vacation & some R&R it’s time to catch up on what’s been going down around Memorial Stadium. UND recently announced the hiring of defensive line coach Austin Flyger. Flyger, a 2005 graduate of Augustana, is a former NCC defensive lineman of the year (2003) meaning he brings experience at the position, which is…
