Benny Sapp Jr., a 6-foot-1, 185-pound safety from Eden Prairie (MN) High, is the first 2018 commit for Minnesota. He committed to new head coach P.J. Fleck Saturday after visiting the campus with his father, Benny Sapp, a former Minnesota Viking defensive back.
Gopher Hole caught up with Sapp to learn more about his decision.
Gopher Hole: You committed to Minnesota over the weekend. What was the main reason that you decided Minnesota was where you wanted to be?
Benny Sapp: It's Coach Fleck and his facility and staff and just how they are changing the whole program around and the culture.
