The Gophers had a busy day of recruiting, adding four new commitments during their Summer Splash event. After Saturday’s additions, the Gophers now have 12 commitments in the 2020 class, which currently ranks No. 32 via 24/7 Sports’ rankings.
Minnesota went international for the first new commit of the weekend. German defensive end Melle Kreuder chose the Gophers over offers from UMass and Buffalo, according to 24/7 Sports. Kreuder was a standout performer at a camp Minnesota’s coaching staff recently attended. They became interested and offered the 6-foot-3, 235-pound defensive end. Kreuder now joins Richard Agyekum as the the second international player to commit in the 2020 cycle.
