Since Mike Markuson graduated from Farmington High School in 1979, football has been in his blood.
He played four years at Hamline University and immediately started pursuing a collegiate coaching career, first as a graduate assistant, including stints with legendary coaches Jimmy Johnson (Oklahoma State) and Lou Holtz (Notre Dame).
For the past two decades he has been a member of Houston Nutt's staff at Murray State, Boise State, Arkansas and most recently, Mississippi.
Next fall he will be coming home, or almost anyway, when he takes over as offensive line coach for the Big Ten champion University of Wisconsin Badgers.
