Crookston High School Senior, Tate Hamre, has signed a National Letter of Intent to play football at the University of North Dakota next year. Hamre, a 6’4 230-pound defensive end and quarterback, will be a defensive end at UND. “It seemed like the right place for me. I went there and visited, loved everything about it, and they are giving me a great opportunity to play football,” said Hamre, who said playing quarterback this year was different. “It was a weird situation I was thrown into, but we made it work and got through it.”
Hamre lettered three times, was named team MVP, and was named to the all-District and All-Academic teams this year. He had 28 tackles, intercepted six passes, had two sacks, and two fumble recoveries this year.
Tate is also a member of the Pirate Boys Hockey team and the golf team.
He will major in Kinesiology at UND and is the son of Troy and Stacy Hamre. Tate’s brother Ty just wrapped up his college football career at Bemidji State University this fall.
