The Gophers have received a commitment from Ontario offensive tackle Tyrell Lawrence. He chose Minnesota over offers from Massachusetts, Indiana, Tennessee and Howard. Lawrence is a powerful offensive lineman with a 6-foot-7, 344-pound frame. There are several plays on film where he gets inside hand position and drives a defensive end to the turf. Lawrence is a force in the ground game and helped pave the way for numerous explosive runs. He plays with excellent strength, leverage and power. He’ll need to polish up his pass protection sets, but he’s another offensive lineman with unique traits that can be developed.
