Mary Lineman Invited To Vikings Rookie Minicamp

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Former University of Mary standout defensive lineman John Oyloe is getting a shot at the NFL.

The North Dakota school says Oyloe has been invited to the Minnesota Vikings rookie minicamp later this week, where he'll have a chance to earn a free agent contract.

The 6-foot-5, 260-pound Oyloe is a native of Williston. He was a three-time All-Northern Sun player for the Marauders. He is Mary's all-time leader in tackles for loss, with 41, and is second in career sacks, with 27.5.
