I came running here to freak out about us taking an edge prospect with Gilmore still waiting.

Thankfully it’s a TE take by all indications. His tape is pretty nice and it’s great to see TEs who also play DE. Good pick up as always.

The Gophers must have had a heck of a pitch to outsell the $$ lure of an aTm and a sportsbook.

Sounds like Iowa had him as very high target! F them!

With the NFL guys Ferentz can point to at TE, this is really impressive!

Yup, nice to beat them out, but also nice to know he passed their evaluation to earn an offer as they certainly have an eye for TE talent.

That's a solid offer list

Boston College, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas State, Missouri, Purdue, Rutgers, Texas A&M

Welcome aboard!! SKI-U-MAH

Someone caught the vision of what could be vs. looking at the past and seeing what was done. MN is up and coming. I am so excited about what we are building here with Fleck. This is a solid get, with an already solid class of athletes in place. Keep it coming.

Glad about this commitment.

Nice pickup! Welcome to Golden Gopher Country!

 

[BleedGopher]

Go Gophers!!

This is a good get, regardless of our thoughts of the TTDS (That team down south), they've got a hell of a track record with TE's.

I almost like him more on D

Does he play defense?

This is shaping up to be a very ELiTE class!!

Does he play defense?

Does play on both sides of the ball as many highschoolers will do. He committed as a tight end so assuming that he prefers that position.
