Touchdown Tuesday: Cashman Scoops and Scores
3/26/2019 5:26:00 AM | Football
Dynamic play-making linkebacker scored his first career touchdown against the Boilermakers.
Throughout the offseason we will take a look at one of Minnesota's touchdowns from the 2018 season in what we are calling Touchdown Tuesday. Today, we revisit Blake Cashman's lone career touchdown, but what a touchdown it was!
Minnesota was beating Purdue 13-3 early in the third quarter when Cashman chased down quarterback David Blough, forced a fumble, scooped up the ball and then raced 40 yards for a touchdown. The score put the Gophers up 20-3 and Minnesota would build its lead to 41-3 before winning 41-10.
He recently participated in the NFL Combine and put the football on notice with a stunning performance. Cashman tied for third among linebackers in the broad jump (124.0), was fourth in the 40-yard-dash (4.50) and 20-yard shuttle (4.12), tied for fifth in the vertical jump (37.5) and tied for seventh in the 3-cone drill (6.95).
The 2019 NFL Draft will be held April 25-27 in Nashville, Tenn.

Cashman played in 48 career games for Minnesota and totaled 183 tackles, which included 31 tackles for loss and 12 sacks. He started his career as a walk-on, but then received a scholarship from head coach P.J. Fleck prior to his junior season. In 2018, he led the Gophers with 104 tackles, made 15 tackles for loss and broke up five passes.#Gophers Blake Cashman doing Blake Cashman things on Touchdown Tuesday! pic.twitter.com/vluXUFl32x
