Gophers add Vandy RB JOHANN CARDENAS

Looks like a good replacement for Wright. Looks very well put together, and speed looks pretty decent too for his size.
 

Vandy offense was pretty brutal last year...surprised he didn't get a look, especially with the redshirt rules.

For comparison, he was rated a bit higher out of HS than Wright too so potentially an upgrade in talent.

The 6-foot, 223-pounder suffered a torn ACL late in high school, did not see game action in 2024 and did not appear to regain peak form until during spring practice. Just as Cardenas appeared to have turned a corner, he suffered a hamstring injury in practice followed by a high-ankle sprain in a scrimmage

 

Looks like our rb coach recruited him to Vandy, so nice to see a familiarity and connection there.
 



It would be nice to have a pair and a spare that could give quality snaps so we don’t overuse the main RB's snap count. Keep the legs fresh.
 

Best case scenario: he comes in and gets healthy/develops. Steps up next year and contributes.

Worst case: the shuffle at RB behind DT continues and the picture isn’t any more clear.

I think it ends up being a net gain though.
 

According to some sites he is legit fast. Would be nice to have a back with home run capability.

I doubt there will be a lot of extra carries outside the top 3.......

Especially since he's coming off of injury, doubt he plays much this year. Probably more for the next couple years after Taylor bolts.
