Charlotte’s Blake Proehl will not be the next winner of American Idol.

Proehl was eliminated Sunday night, coming short of the top 20 this season.

He played football at Providence High School before heading to East Carolina University, where he played as a wide receiver. In 2021, he signed with the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent following that year’s draft, the Observer says.
