I can't say how awesome it feels to see a Wheaton/CCIW player drafted in the 6th round.  Congrats to Andrew Studebaker.

I hope this is just the start of a successful NFL career.  All the best!

Also, congrats to Garcon from MTU and the other D3 free agents!

Please note that the Eagles selected a most appropriate picture of Mr. Studebaker, a picture to be duplicated by current and future Wheaton players for years to come.

dang how bad is a sprained ankle if you miss half a season, playoffs, all-star games, and combines.  sounds more like his foot was severed!!

Yeah, it was curious that they said sprained.  He tore a ligament I believe.  I heard it was the same type of injury the Colt's Dwight Freeney suffered.

Sure, after a 30 or 40 yard gain!!!

Yup... it was a torn Lisfranc ligament.  Much more severe than "just a sprained ankle."

Probably more info then we would ever want to know....but it sounds like a pretty serious injury and glad Andy came out OK.

Congratulations to Andy Studebaker and Wheaton!  Wonderful news for D3!

It is interesting to read about what the scouts are saying about Studebaker:

Rd. 6/203: Andy Studebaker, DE, Wheaton

"I really liked this kid. He's got a chance to be a better pass-rusher than the McNeese kid. Again, on the tape you're watching him play against inferior competition. But he dominated. He was a man among boys. Has good strength. He's wiry. Real good speed. Has a passion for the game. It's important to him. Very smart. We actually had him with a fifth-round grade.''
