It’s hard to believe, but the 2015 Big Ten Football Media Days are upon us, yet another sign that the college football season is near. The event will take place Thursday, July 30 and Friday, July 31 at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place in Chicago.
Representing the Gophers alongside head coach Jerry Kill will be redshirt Seniors Briean Boddy-Calhoun and Theiren Cockran, as well as redshirt Junior Mitch Leidner.
Boddy-Calhoun comes off a strong 2014 season, in which he played in all 13 games. He made 51 tackles, amassed five interceptions and forced two fumbles, most notably stripping the football out of the hands of Nebraska wide receiver De’Mornay Pierson-El at the 2-yard line, essentially securing a victory over the Cornhuskers at Memorial Stadium.
