hockey with the Bison. Despite the football future ahead of him,
Tweten was committed to the Buffalo hockey team. A hip injury
limited his participation this past summer in hockey work. However,
Tweten was still around his hockey brethren.
"His commitment has always been there," Johnson said. "He watched
and participated as he could. It was pretty remarkable to see how much
he wanted to be around the group.
"It was really cool to see how much the hockey program meant to
him while he was preparing for football."
Tweten still continues his preparations for college football while
playing for the Bison this winter. Johnson said he has seen Tweten's
hand-eye coordination improve drastically after spending his fall as a
wide receiver for the football team.
Tweten also acknowledged that improvement. It's just another way
he's seen himself improve as a result of playing multiple sports.
"When you play multiple sports, you see the athleticism pay off,"
Tweten said. "I'd definitely say to go for it. When you have the time, you
might as well give it a shot."
Tweten played defensive back and even quarterback before breaking
out as one of the state's best receivers his senior year.
