Minnesota Football Recruiting: Gophers land a pair of commitments for 2021

I hope you’re wearing sunglasses, because head coach P.J. Fleck and co. are looking to the future with a pair of verbal commitments for the Class of 2021. Illinois prospects (and brothers) Athan and Dino Kaliakmanis have verbally committed to play for the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

The duo committed while on their second unofficial visit to campus this month. Since both were sophomores last fall, neither has been rated yet by any of the internet recruiting services.
