COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Lobos transfer Luke Drzewiecki enters kicker competition
Luke Drzewiecki made 18 of 19 field goals last season and joins a crowded Minnesota competition while his eligibility remains tied to court rulings.
- On Friday, Minnesota signed New Mexico transfer Luke Drzewiecki, a Shelby Township, Michigan, native who was ultra-accurate last season for the Lobos.
- Drzewiecki remains eligible because he and roughly 30 others successfully petitioned to play via state court in Louisiana, while the Tenth Circuit Court granted the NCAA a stay reversing a federal judge's decision regarding Brady Denaburg's fifth-year eligibility.
- During his fourth year at New Mexico, Drzewiecki made 18 of 19 field goals last season. He joins a competition with Beckham Sunderland, Daniel Jackson, and Denaburg, with head coach P.J. Fleck noting, "He's a really accurate kicker."
- Preparing for eligibility variables, Fleck said the team is adjusting its rotation after three weeks of preseason camp, noting that Denaburg's status remains "in limbo."
- The Gophers open the season against Eastern Illinois on Sept. 3, with position battles crystallized across the roster but the placekicker situation remaining uncertain pending further court rulings.
