per GopherSports:

Carrie Leidner doesn’t make dessert on Sunday nights in her Lakeville, Minn., home unless Gopher offensive lineman Jonah Pirsig is headed south with her two sons – Mitch and Matt – for a hearty meal.

“I have a sweet tooth that’s for sure,” said Pirsig. “Chocolate waffles with ice cream is the best one that she makes. I could eat like a dozen of them.”

“He’s just another one of the family,” said Mitch Leidner, who along with Pirsig are the only fifth-year seniors on offense.

The two had gone on some recruiting visits and participated in some camps together. Their down-to-earth and goofy personalities clicked instantly. They both signed at Minnesota and have been good friends since.

“Jonah’s my best friend,” said Matt Leidner, who is in his fourth year of being a member of the Minnesota offensive line. “We get along really well, and we just invited Jonah into our family. We live a lot closer to campus than he does. My parents say that Jonah is their fourth son.”
