Thought I’d start a running list of former players currently playing or coaching beyond UND. Please let me know who I am missing and I can add them. - Matt Waletzko - OL - TBD - Travis Toivonen - WR - NY Giants - Kenny Golladay - WR - NY Giants - Chris Kuper - Offensive Line Coach - MN Vikings - Brady Oliveira - RB - Winnipeg Blue Bombers - Deion Harris - DB - Toronto Argonauts - Mason Bennett - DL - Hamilton Tiger-Cats - Tyron Vrede - LB - Ottawa Redblacks - John Santiago - RB - German Football League - Eric Schmidt - Special Teams Coordinator - University of Washington - Luke Schleusner - Offensive Coordinator - Idaho - Greg Hardin - GA - Oregon State - Tim Tibesar - Defensive Coordinator - University of Akron - Jake Landry - Offensive Coordinator - University of St. Thomas

Excited to watch Matt Waletzko get drafted this weekend. Followed by him earning a starting NFL job in the years to come! Side note: I hope the university really plays this up big to capitalize on the exposure.

Not sure what you mean?

Is this a good commitment? Haven’t been following too closely!

Travis Toivonen is still hanging on with the NY Giants:

Sounds like the new coaching staff is off to a good start!

Agreed. And each FCS loss last season was by one score to good teams. Eliminate a couple mistakes (coaching and players) and last season looks a lot different. Lots to look forward to this coming season.

Huge!

Hype is starting to build.

This is now updated with his bench press, etc. He moved up from 12th highest since 1987 to 7th highest!

Hopefully we can get a WR to transfer in!

Awesome!

Denver’s picks: Round 2: 64 (via Los Angeles Rams) Round 3: 75 (own pick) Round 3: 96 (via Los Angeles Rams) Round 4: 115 (own pick) Round 4: 116 (via Seattle Seahawks) Round 5: 152 (own pick) Round 6: 206 (via Philadelphia Eagles) Round 7: 232 (own pick)

Can we all hang out there as much as we’d like?!

Maybe I am too optimistic, but if it’s promoted well ahead of time, I do believe we can raise a significant amount. People would be more inclined to give to this project than equipment, and the equipment fundraisers seem to always exceed expectations thanks to your help!

Any update on this?

I think he’ll be a great addition! Hoping we find another secondary player in the portal too.

Updated draft rankings from pro football network singles out Matt as one of the guys they’re high on and ranks him as the 76th overall prospect: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/ian-cummings-big-board-of-top-300-players-for-the-2022-nfl-draft/

I encourage anyone who hasn’t been to campus in even the last five years to check it out. It looks great.
