Minnesota is building a MAC pipeline on special teams

The Minnesota Golden Gophers have earned a commitment from Ball State kicker Jacob Lewis, who will join the team as a preferred walk-on with three years of eligibility left.

In two seasons at Ball State, Lewis was 12-of-16 on field goals with a career-long of 51 yards. At the very least, he will provide depth behind starting kicker Matthew Trickett, who returns this fall after finishing the 2021 season 17-of-25 on field goals and 36-of-38 on point-after attempts.
