Mike Sherels is in his third year as the Gophers linebackers coach. He played for the team from 2003 to 2007 and was a team captain his junior and senior year.
"Mike is Minnesota football," Gophers coach Tracy Claeys said in a press release Wednesday. "There are few things that are more important to him than this university and this football program. We ask that you respect his privacy and that of his family during this time."
