Minnesota Football: Meet Conor Rhoda

Conor Rhoda might be the best kept secret in the Big Ten.

But when the Golden Gophers take the field against the Maryland Terrapins, the secret will be out, and the college football world will finally meet the 6’3’’, 215-lb. redshirt junior and Minnesota native who graduated from Cretin-Derham Hall before joining the Gopher football team as a walk-on in fall 2013.

I call Rhoda the best kept secret in the Big Ten because not much is known about the Gophers’ back-up quarterback — literally. Over the last four seasons, Rhoda has seen the field in three games, two in 2014 and one in 2016.
