The Golden Gophers recently jumped into the mix for Jimmy Sullivan, an intriguing quarterback from Carroll (Ind.) in the class of 2025. Sullivan added an offer from Minnesota to his resume on June 14th.
The 6-foot-3, 180-pound recruiting target out of Fort Wayne, IN. sat down with The Gopher Report to detail his overall interest in the Gophers' program as well as his plans to stop by Minnesota for a visit.
Sullivan said that it feels great to pick up a Big Ten opportunity from Minnesota as he has been in contact with the Golden Gophers' coaching staff since early May before catching the attention of both head coach P.J. Fleck and co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Greg Harbaugh Jr. at a mega camp. He added that he was offered a week or two later.
"It feels really good," Sullivan said. "I have been in contact with Minnesota since the beginning of May, then went to a mega camp in the middle of June. Coach Harbaugh and Coach Fleck were there and a week or two later is when I got the offer."
Sullivan said that when he was at camp, Coach Harbaugh was coaching him up and showing him different tricks. The rising star out of the Hoosier State added that there's a lot to love about Coach Fleck as he's one of the best in college football, adding that he had a great conversation with him over Facetime and is convinced that Minnesota is a great place to be.
"When I was at camp, Coach Harbaugh was with me the whole time, coaching me up and asking me to show him some different stuff and I can tell he is a very smart guy," Sullivan said. "Obviously, there is a lot to love about Coach Fleck, one of the best in college football. When I had my facetime call, just listening to him talk, seems like a guy I want to play for."
Sullivan said another aspect of his recruitment process with the Golden Gophers that stands out is the fact that Minnesota was the first P5 program to offer him and that will play a big part in his final decision.
"A big thing for me was they were the first P5 to offer," Sullivan said. "That shows they really believed in me and will stand out a lot to me when I'm making my decision."
Sullivan said that he's going to be stopping by for a visit with the Golden Gophers very soon, revealing his plans to be at Minnesota on the last week of July for a camp and visit. He added that he has no other visits scheduled.
In addition to the offer from Minnesota, Sullivan holds opportunities from Akron, Ball State, Central Michigan, Kent State, Miami (OH), Toledo and Western Michigan.
