per the Echo Press:
Kristen Hoskins sat down at a table in the Alexandria High School gym to put pen to paper and make a dream come true on Wednesday morning decked out in a buttoned-up white shirt and a maroon blazer with the University of Minnesota “M” on his cap.
At his side were the people who helped make this day a reality. Friends. Family. Coaches. Teammates.
Hoskins, a receiver known for his game-breaking speed and athleticism, is quick to say they all played an important role in going from a young kid who moved from Chicago to Minneapolis and then Alexandria to signing to play Big Ten football with the Gophers.
“This is surreal. As a kid where I grew up from, I never would have thought that I would be in this situation I am, but that’s God’s blessings,” Hoskins said. “Thanks to my family, my mom, friends -- without them none of this is possible.”

Kristen Hoskins' journey to the Big Ten becomes official with the love and support of two families
From Chicago, to Minneapolis, to Alexandria -- Kristen Hoskins' road to signing to play football with the Gophers on Wednesday morning was a winding path and one strengthened by the support of his mother, along with the Steffensmeier family from Alexandria.
