IWU Wildcat Roundup IWU Wildcat Roundup

Blame it on the tryptophan or the gluttonous amount of football ingested last weekend, but this week's episode has its struggles. Erik turned into a typical MSFA media member and forgot about Luke Bays existing. Sorry Fred. Then there are a couple editing issues. Luckily, Luke lined up two great interviews. First the Dad & the Grad speak to 1st 50 member Joshua McKenzie who was one of the few members of the 2018 roster to have any college playing experience. Joshua shares about his time at Georgetown, what brought him to IWU, and how his time with the program influences his pursuit of Christ's will in the world. Then we talk to current right guard, Ben Ziebarth in this week's player profile.
