BTN: 10 impact freshmen to watch in 2016 (LB Carter Coughlin, Minnesota)

[BleedGopher]

per BTN:

LB Carter Coughlin, Minnesota

The gem of the Gophers’ 2016 class, Coughlin chose to stay in-state and attend Minnesota, despite several other impressive offers. Gifted with exceptional size and strength, fans should expect to see Coughlin in the Gophers’ linebacker mix right away. This kid is a great building block for Tracy Claeys’ Minnesota staff.

Would have been my choice a month ago. I'm going with Kamal Martin today.

Would have been my choice a month ago. I'm going with Kamal Martin today.

Haven't seen them lately but saw all three (Coughlin, Barber, Martin) play in high school and Barber was the one that stood out athletically as special. I think the fact that he isn't as tall may have kept his hype low, but he is a real player.

Gifted with exceptional size and strength...

Not saying Coughlin isn't big and strong, but I thought his best attributes were his speed and physicality.

I watched him closely during all his drills last Saturday and he is VERY quick.
