Had not watched the video yet but awesome to hear a kid talking about wanting to play here for a long time and already saying he has no intention of transferring.

Obviously nothing is guaranteed in this landscape but gotta love seeing guys who truly want to be here get that opportunity. Hopefully he has a long and really successful Gopher career.

Anyone seen him play? Take-aways?

Adrian Peterson but better.​

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Committing on the local news instead of Twitter is awesome.

 

[WinMinGophers!]

Elite athlete.

4.51s 40-yard dash; 36" vertical jump.

That's burst to explode through gaps.

3 star recruit, so don't get too excited.

Adrian Peterson but better.​

Perfect. Hope he has fewer kids.

That commitment video on local news and his pride for MN already made him a fan favorite!

He’s gonna be an easy one to root for that’s for sure, also was invited to the Team USA baseball ID tournament last summer.

Maybe eventually but looks like they'll give him a shot at RB considering it was Mo Ibrahim who was the primary recruiter.

jawhol mein kommandant.

Too soon.

Moorhead not Morehead.

I'm required to point this out because that is my high school.

 

[Willwin40]

I’m optimistic that they get commitments from his teammates Feeney and Mack in the near future!

Offer list: Kansas State, NDSU, Wiscy, UND, Colorado State. Gophs.

This is the type of kid that used to be ignored by the U, go to one of these schools, and kill us in a random September game. This is the culture and program PJ has built. These kids aren't growing up in the dark ages anymore

He also plays both ways for Moorhead. Football player!

Get them in the program an develop them out of HS. If they leave it's likely due to not being good enough. If you don't get them out of HS, it will be harder to get them later. I like this shift in recruiting.

Nice get. Who was the last Moorhead Spud to make a difference on the gridiron at the U? Steve Tobin in the 70’s?

From the spelling I assumed the Gophers were getting a portal addition from Morehead St. No joke.

Phil Simms alma matter.
