SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) --- Augustana quarterback Gunnar Hensley started five games in 2025 before suffering a season-ending injury. The Carlsbad, California, native has since recovered and is ready to lead the Vikings once more.
"News flash, Gunnar Hensley is really good," head coach Jerry Olszewski said. "He's really good. He's a complete player."
Hensley completed more than 71% of his passes in five games in 2025 before being sidelined, posting a team-high 1,419 yards and 13 touchdowns. The senior is counting down the days until he gets to build on that performance.
"I've been looking forward to August 3rd, that Monday morning practice for so long," Hensley said. "And now we're nine, ten, nine days away from game one, the excitement is building even more."
"Offensive player, like he understands defensive schemes," Olszewski said. "There's not going to be a whole lot of wool pulled over his eyes. Showing one thing, doing another. You might get him once, you won't get him twice because he's just smart. But he's also done it already."
