per Marshall Independent:
The Marshall Tigers will be represented on the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers football team this coming season.
Marshall graduate Drew Hmielewski will be playing wide receiver for the Gophers. Senior Blaise Andries has verbally committed to join the Gophers for the 2017 season.
Gophers head coach Tracy Claeys is excited to see what Hmielewski will do this coming season.
"Drew is somebody we signed as a wide receiver," said Claeys. "The thing I like about him is that his family is extremely athletic with his mom and his dad playing college athletics. I think he's got a good chance to help us, not only in football, but I think also he can help us in baseball. Wide receiver is a position that I think would allow him to probably play both.
"I think there's no question that with where he's at in the weight room that Drew will have a chance to come in and help us this fall."
Being a two-sport athlete can be very difficult as it is very time consuming to play even one college sport. Claeys thinks Hmielewski will be able to handle the challenge.
"He'll have to be good at time management," said Claeys. "He's a great student so I think he'll be able to handle the school part while he does that. There will have to be concessions on both sides as far as the training part of it, but I'm willing to give it a try."
