The Gophers have received a commitment from LaGrange Park, Ill. (Nazareth Academy High School) defensive lineman C.J. West. He held offers from Bowling Green, Eastern Illinois, Illinois State, Northern Illinois, Western Michigan and others. At 6-foot-2, 290 pounds, West could have some flexibility to move around various techniques along the defensive line. This type of versatility is important to have, especially when you’re trying to develop pass rushing depth/rotations. West committed to the Gophers after taking a visit to the school Thursday. He joins defensive lineman Aaron Witt and wide receiver Jonathan Mann as the third member of Minnesota's 2020 recruiting class.
I’ll have more on this addition in an upcoming recruiting article! Until then, here’s a look at his film:
