Walk-on placeholder and four-time cancer survivor profiled by ESPN
University of Minnesota placeholder and four-time cancer survivor Casey O'Brien was featured this morning on ESPN College GameDay.
ESPN's Gene Wojciechowski reported on O'Brien's triumph over cancer in a length feature that aired during ESPN's most-recognizable college football program.
The College GameDay treatment is the latest splash of publicity for O'Brien. In July, he spoke on behalf of the conference's football players when he delivered the keynote speech at the Big Ten Football Kickoff Luncheon at Big Ten Football Media Days at the Hilton Chicago.
Minnesota opens Big Ten play today at 2:30 p.m. at Purdue. The game can be seen on ESPN2 and heard on the Gopher Radio Network.
