Drayton Carlberg, a 6-foot-6, 280-pound junior defensive lineman/offensive lineman from Minneapolis (MN) DeLaSalle, attended the Minnesota Gopher game versus Iowa. Carlberg already has a Big Ten offer on the table as Rutgers offered early, and the offer list is certain to grow quickly. Carlberg talked to GopherHole.com about the latest on his early recruitment.

Gopher Hole: What is the latest on your recruitment right now?

Drayton Carlberg: A lot of colleges have been showing interest in me. I have been getting a lot of mail lately. It has been good, just the way that they show interest and I like coming out and watching the Minnesota Gophers play. I have gotten a lot of mail. A lot of college coaches have been coming in and talking to my coach about me. As far as it has gone, it has gone pretty good.

Gopher Hole: What schools are sending you letters?

Drayton Carlberg: I have heard from the whole Big Ten so far, Iowa State, Cincinnati and Rutgers (which has since offered him a scholarship).

Gopher Hole: Have you had a chance to go to many college camps this year?

Drayton Carlberg: I attended the Northwestern camp, Iowa State camp, Iowa and the Minnesota camp.

Gopher Hole: Have you thought much about what camps you might attend next year?

Drayton Carlberg: I haven’t made my schedule up yet for this summer, but I’ll end up attending a lot of college camps.

Gopher Hole: What would it mean to maybe play for the homstate school?

Drayton Carlberg: It would mean a lot. My family is a strong Golden Gopher team. My grandparents, grandma and uncles, they are always trying to get to play for the Gophers, but we’ll see how it goes.

They have generations of wisdom. Listen to your elders!
 

What is the latest news on Drayton Carlberg anyone? It has been eerily silent lately which is worrisome.

I want him in a Gopher uniform. OL or DL, doesn't matter to me. He is a talented home grown prospect playing HS football right under the shadows of TCF Field that we don't want to get away.
 


With a productive season this year and the family rooting for the Gophers it will make his decision easier as time goes on.
 


I'm so sick of hearing about this guy...he's had plenty of time to commit. If he doesn't want the honor, forget him!

Exactly...I mean there are so many top local kids that are 6'5" 280lbs with offers from the likes of Ohio State and other top programs just waiting to commit to us so we should definitely just turn our back on this guy since he has not jumped at the opportunity. Just like with JJ last year you recruit the top instate guys to the bitter end and you hope like heck they decide to commit.
