D1R 195 - Trevor Nowaske & Tanner Volk, Resurrected California D3 Programs & D3 Pro Contracts

HELL OF AN EPISODE! Absolute privilege to have Trevor back on the show after he officially re-signed with the Detroit Lions ahead of the 2025 season. Hear from him about his journey back to Detroit, playing out of his position, and his "Welcome to the NFL" moments that seemed surreal for the Saginaw Valley State grad. Also super excited to welcome on Central Washington All-American Tanner Volk who just put up some WILD numbers at his pro day and is looking to earn a spot on an NFL roster. We cover the Azusa Pacific Cougars and Whittier College Poets bringing back their respective football programs in CA, and talk about some D3 athletes who have inked deals with professional teams in the states and beyond.
