Grant Ryerse, 6-foot-3, 220-pound junior kicker from East Ridge, already landed a scholarship offer from Minnesota as a sophomore. Ryerse has helped lead the Raptors to Friday's Prep Bowl title game.
Gopher Hole caught up with Ryerse Sunday to learn the latest on his recruitment and his current season.
Gopher Hole: You advanced to the state championship game with back-to-back close wins. What was the feeling after winning the semifinal game Friday and knowing that you are going to be playing in the Prep Bowl this week?
Grant Ryerse: It was surreal. This has been a goal all year.
