Jaydon Wright is already in the fold, but the Gophers are looking to add a second dynamic running back to their 2024 recruiting class.
Recently, Leesburg (Ga.) Lee County talent Devin Collier caught the eye of Minnesota running backs coach Nic McKissic-Luke, who quickly extended an offer.
Consider the interest mutual for the three-star talent.
"Very interested," Collier said of Minnesota. "I have an official set up for June 16-18th."
Admittedly, there wasn't a lot of contact between Collier and Minnesota before the offer came down, but McKissic-Luke has made a strong impression on the 6-foot, 200-pound talent so far.
"He's an outgoing coach and he understands me. Keeps it 100 at all times."
Collier excels on both sides of the ball for his high school team, playing running back, safety, and returning kicks.
It's that kind of versatility and athleticism that has McKissic-Luke interested in adding him to the backfield.
"(He likes that I'm) very versatile good build and can move and fast."
For now, Collier also has an official visit scheduled with Duke for June 23rd. He also recently visited Memphis, where he also possesses an offer.
