12 Area Athletes Sign Letters of Intent

Big Colby lineman Alex Jorgensen passed up a chance to join the Badgers as a preferred walk-on.

Instead, the NewsChannel 7 all-star, will head to Winona State.

Joining Jorgenson in Winona will be SPASH lineman Ryan Ramczyk who is just tickled to death to be able to play football at the next level.

Minnesota State Mankato invaded the area: Win Brockmeyer Award Winner Brandon Luedke will play for the Mavericks, if he can get on the field as a freshman it'll be as a long-snapper and special teams.

NewsChannel 7 all-star Brent Esser of Everest is Mankato-bound as well.

He used a 64 catch, 1300 yards, 16 touchdowns season to put himself on the radar and earn a scholarship.

D.C. Everest standout Sam Graff will suit up for Bemidji State, a town he's comfortable with because he's been fishing up there quite a bit.

Graff wil team with Northland Pines' Mitch Elbe to get the Beavers back to the postseason for the first time since 2006.

Elbe's brother was recruited by Bemidji a couple years back, so he was already familiar with the program and it was an easy choice to make.

Our last football signing of the day comes from Wausau West: big man Evan Mayer played only two games this season for the Warriors, but was still heavily recruited.

His defensive end skill set is what attratced the Huskies, plus, you can't teach size.

Up in Tomahawk, Rachel Sudbury will head to the division one ranks and run track and cross country with Bradley.

Her twin Anna signed to play volleyball at Rutgers, older sister Sarah just finished up at Saint John's.

Rather than head east, she's blazing her own trail to Peoria.

And Katy Rutz of Amherst is D1-bound as well, headed to Indiana State.

There, she'll do the shot put and discus which she did at Amherst, but will take on some new challenges--the hammer, the weight throw and possibly the javelin.

D.C. Everest distance runner Jacob Dirkman is heading quite the distance from home, nearly 11-hundred miles to Columbus State down in Columbus, Georgia.

Going to a warm weather school was a pre-requisite for Dirkman.

Spash's Morgan Cebula will hit the volleyball hard at division 2 Lewis University.

6 years running the Fyers have made the NCAA D2 tournament.

She took care of her official signing back in November and has been stress-free today and the last couple months.

Finally, Brad Cieslewicz of Amherst is headed to the collegiate ranks for a non-traditional sport.

If you wanna bowl for one of the top programs in the country, Lindenwood College in Saint Charles, Missouri is the place to do it.
