Braden Mohr returns to Fighting Hawks lineup after two season-ending injuries

University of North Dakota senior edge Braden Mohr returned to the field last Thursday in the Fighting Hawks' season opener against Long Island University. Mohr recorded 1.5 sacks in the game, marking his first appearance at the Alerus Center since his collegiate career was repeatedly interrupted by injuries. He missed the majority of the 2024 season following a knee injury and saw his 2025 campaign end prematurely due to an ankle injury sustained in the third week. After undergoing a full offseason of training and participating in spring practice, Mohr cleared the recovery process to rejoin the defensive rotation. Head coach Eric Schmidt credited Mohr's work ethic and impact, noting the defender's ability to pressure opposing quarterbacks. The Fighting Hawks aim to utilize his pass-rushing skills as he continues to reintegrate into the team's defensive schemes.
