Won't face Bulldogs Drzewiecki (not injury related) won't play against Mississippi State in Week 2, per Andy Greder of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Not dressed Thursday Drzewiecki (not injury related) is not dressed ahead of Thursday's game versus Eastern Illinois, Ryan Burns of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact With his eligibility status still up in the air and pending court cases, Drzewicki is not dressed ahead of Thursday's season opener. With his absence, kicking duties will either go to Daniel Jackson or Beckham Sunderland, but Jackson looks more likely at this point considering he was seen warming up with the first field goal team during pregame warmups.

Signs with Minnesota Drzewiecki has signed with Minnesota, Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reports.

Impact For four seasons, Drzewiecki regularly attempted field goals and extra points with New Mexico. Under a national ruling, NCAA student-athletes now have an additional year of collegiate eligibility to use, and Drzewiecki will use it to log his fifth and final season with Minnesota. In 2025, he made 18 of 19 field goals and all 36 of his extra-point attempts, a good enough standard to make him the Gophers' No. 1 kicker going into 2026.
