KNIGHT ON WHISMAN: "Travis Whisman is a tremendous student-athlete and competitor. He came through very serious back surgery and all of that is behind him. He is much stronger and he has a chance to meet his goals as a player. Knowing that, this is a big year for Travis and if he plays well, I think our team will play well. He is a big key because of his experience and I know he wants to play for a team that can compete."
