On June 30, 2018, Chris Shanafelt caught up with St. Cloud State defensive-end, #97 Ferris Ingraham (6’4, 260lbs.) at Husky Stadium to talk about his journey to St. Cloud, Minnesota being from Evanston, Illinois. The 2015 Evanston Football Player of the Year is entering his junior season and goes in-depth with his experience as a young player coming in who was being mentored by veteran upperclassmen to becoming the mentee he is today to not only the defense but the entire team. Ingraham also shares what it is like to be under the tutelage of  Assistant Head Coach/Defensive-Line Coach, Steve Grimit, who will be entering his 26th season with the Huskies.

Last year the SCSU Huskies finished with a record of 6-5, Ingraham discusses what his expectations are for the upcoming football season and how the team is coming together as we are only a couple of months away from the start of the season. Playing in the NSIC (Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference), Ingraham also explains what the competition level is like week in and week out, specifically when it comes to their rival University of Minnesota Duluth and how much the annual “Battle for the Bone” matchup means to each team.
