Per Randy:
Playing a key role in Perich committing to the Gophers was the program’s recent history of sending safeties to the NFL. From Antoine Winfield Jr. with Tampa Bay, Jordan Howden with New Orleans and Tyler Nubin with the New York Giants, the Gophers under Fleck and Collins have earned the reputation of developing that position.
“Antoine Winfield was there, and he had a pretty good conversation with him about the program being a good fit for him and that being the most important thing for him,” George said. “He came back pretty positive about that practice and having talked to some of those NFL guys.”
The Periches were impressed with the consistency of Fleck’s message and the bonds that Collins formed with Koi.
“Danny Collins was instrumental in getting him to Minnesota,” George said. “They were both very diligent with their pursuit.”

Underdog Gophers already beat the Buckeyes for Koi Perich
Minnesota Gophers standout safety Koi Perich stayed committed to coach P.J. Fleck even with Ohio State's Ryan Day & Co. knocking on the door.
