When it came time to ask his parents for a graduation present, Illinois receiver Mikey Dudek went for the gusto. And the food.
His request: a May trip to Europe.
It was a two-part ask. Rick and Lynn Dudek had to say yes. And so did Scott and Laurel Kirkpatrick, the parents of Dudek's girlfriend, Jaelyne. She's going with Mikey.
"It was a graduation present from both of our parents," Dudek said. "We never thought they would say yes to Europe. When they said yes, we did our research and we found the country we wanted to go to.
