The Gophers have received a commitment from Cornelius, NC kicker Camden Lewis. He chose Minnesota over an offer from East Carolina. He is rated as a five-star kicker, according to Kohl’s kicking. Minnesota hosted Lewis multiple times and he took a campus visit to Georgia in late April.
As you can see below, Lewis has a big leg with a current long in the 50-yard range. He hit a 51-yard try last season and also made an impact on kickoffs. He also had a 38.1 average as a punter during his junior season. He also holds a 4.3 GPA in the classroom, according to Kohl's kicking.
Lewis joins top-ranked long snapper Brady Weeks in the Class of 2019. With kicker Emmit Carpenter and long snapper Payton Jordahl graduating at the end of this season, special teams coordinator Rob Wenger is preparing for the future. The Gophers now have two of the top-rated specialists in the country for the Class of 2019. It is very important to play complementary football in all three phases, so prioritizing and landing two of these players is key.
