Catches and compositions: Minnesota's Drew Wolitarsky an aspiring author

Related Topics: Author

Drew Wolitarsky is Minnesota’s leading returning receiver. That might not be his proudest collegiate achievement, however. This year, he also became a published author.

The senior’s six-part short story about a graveyard worker who can visit the underworld by being buried alive ran this spring in The Wake, Minnesota’s student-run magazine.

"It felt good to get a story out and get a reaction," Wolitarsky told ESPN.com. "People can see what’s inside you and get to know you a little better."

Those who know Wolitarsky expect to see him with his nose in a book or conjuring up characters on his laptop whenever he has free time away from the Golden Gophers football program.
