LB Andrew Van Ginkel

(Did you have any idea that you were on the Dolphins’ radar?) – “They talked to me a couple of times and I met with them at my Pro Day. I didn’t know exactly but I had a good idea that they were interested in me.”

(Could you describe your game as far as against the run and against the pass? What do you consider your strengths?) – “I feel like I can get after the (passer). I’ve been working on it ever since I got to college. I’ve always tried to develop my game and I’ve really anchored down on the ground to be able to stop the run. I’ve really worked on that my whole career. I feel like it’s something I continue to work on and something that I can improve on.”

(What linebacker position did you play for Wisconsin?) – “I played outside linebacker there.”

(Did you have strong or weak side, or was it interchangeable?) – “We were interchangeable, so I played both sides.”

(Do you have any special teams experience?) – “Yeah, I played all four special teams. I was a core-four guy my junior year, so I got a lot of experience there.”

(Were you kind of surprised you were reunited with OL Michael Deiter down here?) – “Yeah, I’m excited. He was a great teammate. He has a knack for football and he’s so knowledgeable about the game. He’s a good friend of mine and I’m excited to be able to be a teammate of his again.”

(What led to you going to junior college? Why didn’t you go to a four-year university initially?) – “I did go to a four-year university at the University of South Dakota. I played well my redshirt freshman year, so I wanted to see where my talents could take me. I ended up choosing Iowa Western so I could get recruited and end up going to a bigger D-I school. I ultimately chose Wisconsin.”

(You transferred after two years to Wisconsin?) – “So I spent a year and a-half at South Dakota and then a year at my junior college, and then spent two years at Wisconsin.”
