Nick Guggemos, who played tight end at St. Thomas but saw his college career come to an end in 2018 due to injuries, has signed a contract with the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday.
St. Thomas tight end, who last played in 2018, signed by the Seattle Seahawks
Nick Guggemos, a Benilde-St. Margaret's graduate, appeared in just one collegiate game in 2018, but three years later he has a NFL contract.
Guggemos, who graduated from Benilde-St. Margaret's in 2014, is the son of former Tommies standout and Vikings kick returner Neal Guggemos.
The only stats that Nick Guggemos accumulated at St. Thomas came in 2018 against Hamline, when he had one carry for -4 yards and one reception for eight yards.
But while his college career was cut short by injuries, Guggemos participated at the University of Minnesota Pro Day in April and made enough of an impression that Seahawks General Manager John Schneider, a St. Thomas graduate himself, offered a contract.
The eight Twins headed for arbitration are Royce Lewis, Joe Ryan, Jhoan Duran, Bailey Ober, Ryan Jeffers, Willi Castro, Griffin Jax and Trevor Larnach.
