ICYMI: initial football depth chart released

It is a pretty exciting time right now. While football is still 38 days away, we get some semblance of football stuff to talk about. Who is going to be filling from the departures of last year makes this easier.

Here is Brett Rypien

"Experience at the Division I level helps. I've learned a lot about myself as a leader."
