“Any time you can sign student-athletes fast and get it done, over with, it helps you in the next class, too,” Gophers coach P.J. Fleck said Wednesday. “We go back out (on the recruiting trail) in January — everybody.”
Fleck has made it a priority to strive for high school recruits to give the Gophers commitments early in the annual process. For example, Eden Prairie cornerback Benny Sapp III was the first pledge in the Gophers’ 2018 class, committing Feb. 11, only 10 days after last year’s national signing day.
“I’m excited,” Fleck said. “We’re going to attack the 2019 class starting (Wednesday).”
While the Gophers don’t have to juggle two recruiting classes, they won’t be alone in trying to snare 2019 commits. Among the 247 top recruits in the nation in the 2019 class, 44 have given early commitments to schools, according to 247sports.com. Iowa and Michigan have three each from this group, with Wisconsin and Ohio State at one apiece.
Edina offensive tackle Quinn Carroll is ranked 102nd in the nation for ’19. He has yet to make a college choice.
