Newlywed Nerwinski looks back on 2020 with lens of gratitude

“We’re healthy, we have jobs.”

Such a simple statement that many no longer get to say. It is these blessings we’ve often taken for granted that Jake Nerwinski chooses to focus on as the year draws to a close.

It is a time that he describes ‘the most challenging year’ of his life. A bit of a surprise if you look at his production this past season – a new career-high in goals, top three on the team in interceptions, blocks, and recoveries, all while taking on more of a leadership role in the locker room and in the community.
