This is good.

3 star DE, Scott's brother

Things are looking up!

 

[Parski1]

Does anybody know anything about this recruit? This is one I have not heard about.

 

[e.bigelow]

Nice!

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Decent, not great offer list, hopefully he can fill out some and become a contributor...

Maybe things aren't as bad coaching-wise as what's his name says it is. If the brother of a current player commits...just saying.

 

[MNGoldenGophers1]

X-mas is coming early with this and the other commits.

Go Gophers!

 

[Curseislifted33]

According to the twitterverse he is graduating in December and will be here in January, just like some other D-line recruit from last year I just can't think of who.

 

[GopherInPittsburgh]

Awesome! If he is anything like his brother, he will take off in Klein's system.

That's all right Parski, he's never heard of you either.

+1

I thought the exact same thing.

Yep, as GopherinPitt pointed out, his brother has put on about 25 lbs since walking onto campus last December. Hopefully, it's the same with this Ekpe.

Sweet! If he's anything like his brother this will be a great addition. Welcome aboard Hendrick!

That's pretty funny. I think we've been talking about him for over a year...

Actually no.

Scott has been a pleasant surprise backing up Hageman this year.

Who knows, in a couple of years, we can have the Epke brothers meeting at the quarterback.

You gotta like a defensive end named after this guy...

Dude's first name is Stork?

 

[balds]

Both he and his brother strike me as mature, hard working kids who have a huge upside. Scott hit campus at 17 (enrolled early) and worked his way into the rotation as an 18 year old true Freshman. His brother will also enroll early, giving him him a head start. Very happy to have guys like this signing on.

HAHAHA

Anyways...welcome aboard! I've been impressed by his bro and hope he follows in his footsteps.

Actually, his first name would be "Mad"
