According to the STrib!!!! Welcome!!
 

per the STrib:

The 5-10, 205-pound Jacob Huff is a consensus three-star safety, and the 5-11, 220-pound Julian Huff is listed as a two-star inside linebacker in the 247Sports Composite.

Their mother, Dee Huff, posted news of their commitments on Facebook: “YES, THE TWINS VERBALLY COMMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MN TODAY!!!! … So proud of you both!!!”

Welcome to Gopherland, fellows. Good luck and do your parents, yourselves, and all of Gopher fans everywhere proud.
 

Wow. They cummuted to make their commitment. That shows true cummuntment.
 





These guys look like good football players. Welcome aboard!
 

On the 247 web site they are marked as early enroll-es.
 





A satisfying day. Thank you for coming to Minnesota. Welcome!!
 

Wow, really impressive athletes.

I'd guess they both end up LBers. Like most Kill recruits on defense, they sure look like they are can run.

Welcome aboard!
 


Did someone say twins?

Fantastic news.

Not that I suppose it makes a huge difference in footballing terms, but this must be the 4th or 5th set of brothers we have have recruited in recent years to my knowledge (Olson, McAvoy, Rallis, Mayes, Huff - am I missing anyone?).

Admitting that I know very little about other college depth charts beyond the obvious (e.g. Pouncey twins at Florida, Barber twins at Virginia) is it common to have this many siblings on the depth chart or are we particularly good at spotting sibling links in recruiting?

I was thinking the same thing on the video highlights posted above; Julian's first coverage play, he appears in a bad position to make a play on the ball, then makes a fantastic adjustment to intercept a pass, over the shoulder.
 

From TDG - Minnesota Football Recruiting: Jacob Huff and Julian Huff Commit By Matt H

The Gophers must have an internal prospect scoring criterion that adds double weight to the checkbox "has brother that also plays football," since Minnesota has the highest percentage of twins/siblings on scholarship of any team in the country*.

* Not a real stat.

JACOB IS BUILT LIKE BROCK, ANTICIPATES THE ACTION WELL AND PLAYS UNDER CONTROL MUCH LIKE THE FORMER 1ST TEAM ALL-BIG SELECTION.

Bolingbrook (IL) defensive back Jacob Huff committed to Minnesota yesterday, followed shortly thereafter by his brother Julian Huff, an outside linebacker. The twins are the 2nd and 3rd members of the Gopher 2015 recruiting class; both list offers from Buffalo, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan and Toledo. Jacob is rated a 3 star prospectaccording to 247Sports' Industry Composite, while Julian's initial rating is 2 stars. Gopher fans won't have to wait as long to see the twins in Maroon & Gold, as both are early-enrollee candidates and will begin classes in January 2015.

If Julian is a 2-star, I'd love to see what a 4-star looks like.

Where they ultimately play will probably have a lot to do with whether or not they are done growing. Both are listed under 6'0" and that would be pretty short for a BIG LB.
