3-Star WR Mike Brown-Stephens, Nephew of John Legend, Commits to Minnesota

The University of Minnesota secured a commitment on Wednesday from wide receiver Mike Brown-Stephens, who comes from a rather famous lineage.

Grammy award-winning singer John Legend tweeted out a message of congratulations for his nephew after he announced his decision to play football for the Golden Gophers:

John Legend

So proud of my nephew @MikeBStephens7! This will present a dilemma for me during Ohio St - Minnesota games, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there https://t.co/zxDtlLLo6y

Other than his football acumen, Brown-Stephens may be best known for a 2010 incident when he accidentally broke one of his uncle's Grammy awards.
