Lattewarrior passes along a story about former Hastings High School and Gophers tight end Ben Utecht, who is now with the Cincinnati Bengals. Utecht has a long history of singing (and singing well, we will add). Well, now he has a CD out (self-titled, $10.99). What kind of music? Well, we’re not sure whether to label it gospel or Christian rock, but it is definitely faith-based — which, as MJD notes in the story Latte sent, could be a little out of place in the Bengals locker room. From Utecht’s web site:

Ben is a football player by trade, but a follower of Jesus by desire … Full of passion, depth and an insight to the struggles of faith and life, his songs provoke an honesty and sensitivity that tap directly into the heart strings of our relationship to Christ.

Best of luck to Ben (honestly), but in order to make this extra fun, we have to mention two things: 1) Utecht is also apparently an avid fan of Superman. 2) If you could pick any One of Us athlete aside from Ben Utecht to produce a Christian rock CD, who would it be? For some reason, for us, Carlos Gomez springs to mind.
