Central Lakes CC (which is in Brainerd) wide receiver Kieran Johnson committed to Minnesota as a preferred walk-on. Schaekel had talked to Johnson a little bit this fall, but I didn't realize there was that much brewing with him. When I reached out to him at the start of the contact period, he told me he hadn't heard from Minnesota. Regardless, it's a huge get for Minnesota. Johnson was a first team All-American for all of NJCAA, not just Division-III. He had 69 receptions for 1404 yards and 24 touchdowns for Central Lakes. He committed to Minnesota over a full ride from Buffalo. You can watch his Hudl here.
