Gophers offer FCS All-American OL transfer in JD DiRenzo

[99Gopher]

Would JD DiRenzo go a long way in solidifying the Gopher Offensive line for next year?

#Gophers
He is already piling up the offers, such as Rutgers, Mississippi State, Maryland and Ole Miss to name a few.

Would be a great get at LT! Looks like Maryland, Rutgers, Ole Miss, WVU also in the mix

Obviously, nothing is certain until the signature is in place. However, as your little face shows, I think we are in good shape!

JD DiRenzo grew up in Hammonton, NJ, and went to Sacred Heart University in Fairfield CT.

I wonder if Rutgers has an inside track on this kid. Hammonton is under 1.5 hours from Rutgers University.

We do know he doesn't look great in a red uniform. Far more stylish look for the young man in a nice dark maroon with gold trim uniform.

He's from the 2017 recruiting class. So he must only have 1 year of eligibility remaining?

Also make him look more svelte/aerodynamic

Hammonton NJ is known as "the blueberry capital of the world."

As far as Rutgers having the edge, well, If geography is a critical factor to a recruit we're not going to have the inside track most of the time. We have to compete on other dimensions.

FCS played the 2020 season in the spring of 2021, and SHU played looks like six games. https://sacredheartpioneers.com/sports/football/schedule/2020

So I think 2022 would be his fifth season and the extra year of eligibility granted by covid.

Good catch! I didn't realize that FCS played in the spring of 2021.
