New Commit- Devon Williams!

[Jeshurun]

Not bad at all. Offer list includes Michigan, Michigan State and Nebraska.

I guess we’ll take him.

 

[Livingat45north]

Under-rated as a three-star, with those offers he's gonna jump in the rankings.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Excited to see us getting the recruits like this on Defense.

 

[GringaGopher]

After watching PJF's message to the U students it's easy to feel all that positive energy. Love all these new recruits !

yeeeeeesssssssss

 

[John Galt]

Williams looks like a really good football player. And to flip him from Kentucky sight unseen would have been the story of the week if Dickerson didn’t commit.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

That could moves really well for a LBer.

Keep em coming PJ!

An interesting read, sounds like a very bright kid. Academics and Fortune 500's were big in the decision. Also confirms that the virtual visit thing must be rather well done. Hats off to PJ and team.

Midwest Spotlight: The 12 biggest commitments this spring

This spring has brought a very unique recruiting landscape, forcing coaches to adjust their recruiting approaches. Some staffs are doing that better than others, and being rewarded with new additions to their 2021 recruiting classes. Here is a look at the 12 biggest commitments in the Midwest region through the first four weeks of the spring season.

1. AVANTE DICKERSON, Minnesota

P.J. Fleck has been bulldozing recruiting obstacles and setting new expectations since his time at Western Michigan. He went into Florida and signed a pair of four-star linemen in his first, full recruiting class, and now he goes into the backyard of his Big Ten West rival and lands a Rivals250 defensive back who had never visited Minnesota’s campus. That type of recruiting feat gives the Gophers' the nod for the biggest Midwest commitment this spring.

12. DEVON WILLIAMS, Minnesota


Securing commitments during this time has not been particularly difficult, but flipping commitments without the benefit of hosting prospects on campus is a whole different matter. Minnesota was able to flip Williams from his nearly three-month Kentucky commitment without getting him on campus and despite the fact that he was going from a school he can easily drive to to one he almost certainly has to fly to. That was an impressive feat.
