The Tommies recently picked up a commitment from Champlin Park senior RB Shawn Shipman. Among local players who hold Tommies offers: Buffalo senior OL Gerit Poncius, Hopkins senior LB RJ Chakolis, and Elk River senior RB Carter Otto.
St. Thomas will play in the Pioneer League, which doesn’t allow offers of athletic scholarships. However, St. Thomas and other league schools can offer financial aid.
