This was the only profile I could find on IE for Ekanayake. I just noticed last month he was a finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship...but it looks like he wasn't listed among the winners last week. Still a pretty cool honor that he gets to share with another pretty smart guy, Corey Robinson.

Here was a link from UND when the finalists were initially announced: https://und.com/ekanayake-named-rhodes-scholar-finalist/

Thought for sure was going to open this and find the Luke Kuechly / Mike Alstott all time PWO equivalent, woulda, coulda, shoulda story about this guy:

Had his third 100 yd rushing game of the season and added 50+ rec yds in last Saturday's loss to Rutgers. Nice Irish Invasion shirt there in his profile pic. :awesomewo
