per CBS: Paulson talks Gophers pledge
Louisville (Ky.) Christian Academy tight end Jacob Paulson was really feeling Minnesota when he visited in December.
The hiring of P.J. Fleck pushed him over the top.
Wednesday night, the 6-foot-5, 245-pound Paulson went ahead and made it official, committing to the Gophers.
The one-time Western Kentucky commit also had offers from Cincinnati, Illinois, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Purdue and UCF. Other programs like LSU were flirting with him late in the process.
"Loved it when I was up there," Paulson said, adding "it's great" to be part of Fleck's first class at Minnesota.
Fleck made a quick impression with his message.
"That he liked me and plays with a lot of energy and wants to use a tight end and liked I can run and block," Paulson said of the message.
