Do you ever wonder what happened to your favorite Friday Frenzy star who went on to the next level? Now you don't have to! Join WAND's Gordon Voit every week for Alumni Tuesday, when he will profile a different local athlete who is now at the college level and beyond.
In Week 5, we profile Sacred Heart-Griffin graduate Albert Okwuegbunam, a tight end for Missouri who has become one of the most dangerous weapons in the SEC. The 6-foot-5, 260-pound target has 13 career touchdown catches in roughly a season and a half of time in a Tigers uniform. Okwuegbunam is at or near the top of most tight end boards in the NFL Draft's class of 2019.
