Hello to all my Rouser readers! At the time of writing this, 12 Gophers have found themselves either getting drafted or signing undrafted free agent deals! Best of luck to every Gophers athlete in the pros! As a Vikings fan, I was very happy to see Max Brosmer getting an NFL chance with the Vikings.
As for the NBA playoffs, the Lakers are down 1-2 to the Timberwolves. However, I was at the game and the energy of Target Center made the loss (somewhat) worth it.
We have some great stories this week so be sure to check them out!
Go Gophs and Go Lakers!

The Gophers have nine players taking part in this year’s NFL Draft, with multiple expecting to hear their names called.
Ersery started all 12 games at left tackle in the 2024 season. He blocked for an offense that averaged 26.15 points per game, rushed 115.6 yards per game and threw 222.15 yards per game.
Ersery opted out of the Duke’s Mayo Bowl against Virginia Tech and declared for the NFL draft. He received a 2025 NFL scouting combine invite.
