Meet college football’s next best hope for a two-way star in a post-Travis Hunter world

Minnesota sophomore safety Koi Perich has a chance to approach Travis Hunter's workload as the Gophers try to maximize their best player.

“Perich told reporters he never watched college football growing up — including the Gophers — and “would just skip through college if I could and just gone straight to the Vikings, but you’ve got to do your three years.” His nonchalant attitude toward college football was clear during the recruiting process and especially at the end. Ohio State offered Perich with about seven weeks left in the recruiting cycle.

“It was super close. It came down to the last day,” Perich said. “Ohio State is Ohio State. What I liked more about Minnesota was just ultimately their NFL safeties.””
