Seems like an outstanding pick up!
 





Really nice addition to the class. TE is a position with a lot of potential going forward with Voss and Mikkelsen in back to back classes.

I'm excited about both. What I would really, really love is if one (or both) of them would be willing to switch sides of the ball and become an edge pass rusher. With their speed and a little added muscle they might have great potential to put some heat on opposing QB's. IMHO a stud pass rusher is more valuable than a stud TE. Just a thought. Go Gophers!

They brought in Bush from Cal plus have Howard and Menz as upperclassmen. They brought in a couple recruits this past year as well...Anthony Charles had offers from Michigan, Penn State and others. Aaden Aytch had his recruiting blow up down the stretch as a 4* and Rivals having him as a top 30-40 recruit overall.

Yes, our pass rush has improved. But, I'm always up for giving someone a shot at becoming a sack master.
 

"Plowing the fertile fields of the Dakotas."

I took this as a reference to Corey Lewandowski. debauching Kristi Noem while her husband was busy trying on her dresses. I must have misunderstood.
 

Nice to see, with portal and everything harder to get excited about recruiting

Surprised he picked us over NDSU whose fan base still thinks they can outrecruit us
 


Nice frame to add a good 25-30 pounds.
