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.
