Scarlet Overkill Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Was just going through some old rosters and remembered Seth Jensen got dismissed or left or something. Anyone know the full story or what path in life he ended up taking? Quote Link to comment
HuskerNMO Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Was just going through some old rosters and remembered Seth Jensen got dismissed or left or something. Anyone know the full story or what path in life he ended up taking? http://www.gothunderwolves.com/sports/fball/2007-08/news/05162008_Jensen http://www.gothunderwolves.com/sports/fball/2008-09/news/chieftain-bonham http://www.chieftain.com/sports/local/blue-chipper-quits-pack-football-team/article_a3189a42-a3cc-594b-830d-8bdb08688be4.html Seth Jensen, a Division I transfer from the University of Nebraska, turned in his gear Friday. "Sure I'm disappointed, because I was counting on him," ThunderWolves head coach John Wristen said. "He's had a lot of surgeries, and he said his body was beat up and sore, and he said that he felt like his body couldn't take it anymore." Jensen, at 6-foot-4, 292 pounds, was a highly touted recruit out of Fort Morgan High School by several scouting services. Jensen, however, was running with the second unit at nose guard. Through nine practices, he was unable to unseat former Pueblo South High School standout Victor Quintana as the starter at that position. The ThunderWolves are thin at offensive line, and moving Jensen to that side of the ball was an option - one that didn't sit well with the sophomore. Several players already have checked it in and no coach, including Wristen, wants to talk about players who aren't in camp. The ThunderWolves, however, celebrated Jensen's arrival and were excited about his potential. "You have to coach and play with the guys who are here," Wristen said. "College football is for guys that truly love the game. We've had nine straight practices . . . and it is a grind. Those who love it fight through it. "We live in a Playstation society. Guys play the video game and when the going gets tough, they hit the reset button and start over. You can't do that in life. It's too easy to quit nowadays." Quote Link to comment
Scarlet Overkill Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Thanks - that last bit is sad - I was hoping he'd settle in and do well. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Pretty sure both his shoulders were repaired. Left UNL to go closer to home and at that point was giving up college football. Never had see the above stories before, because I pretty much went, eh, best of luck to ya kid tough break. Much like the Craig Roark situation Quote Link to comment
