University of Minnesota football coach P.J. Fleck announced the team's Nektons of the Week today. The Gophers just completed their fourth week of offseason workouts and Daniel Jackson (offensive), Darnell Jefferies (defensive) and Greg Johnson (newcomer) received the weekly honors.
Jackson competed in 11 games last year and led the team in receiving yards (557), receiving touchdowns (5) and was second in receptions (37). The two-time Academic All-Big Ten selection has 74 career catches for 991 yards and six touchdowns.
Jefferies transferred to Minnesota and spending four seasons at Clemson. He has one season of playing eligibility left with the Gophers. In his first year in Maroon and Gold, he saw action in all 13 games and made six tackles. The defensive lineman played in 29 career games at Clemson and had 22 tackles, one tackle loss and half of a sack.
Johnson, a true freshman, enrolled at Minnesota in January after a standout career at Prior Lake High School in Savage, Minn. He was a team captain and led the way for a Prior Lake rushing attack that averaged 239.3 yards per game, including 30 rushing touchdowns.
