Here are the expected official visitors that will be in town this weekend:
TRANSFERS:
Elijah Spencer, WR, Charlotte - C-USA freshman of the year in 2021. Has tallied 85 catches for 1,324 yards and 15 touchdowns the last two seasons.
Jack Henderson, DB, Southeastern Louisiana - Picked up a Minnesota offer earlier this week. The Louisiana native also has offers from Louisiana Tech and Colorado State. All-Southland player that totaled 82 tackles, 2 INT, 2 sacks, and 2 FF's during his career.
Chris Collins, DE, North Carolina - Graduate transfer with loads of experience. Totaled 68 tackles, 12.5 TFL, and six sacks during his career.
HS VISITORS:
Kenric Lanier, WR, Decatur (Ga.) - Current Vanderbilt commitment. This is a big one as Lanier took an official with the Commodores last weekend and is still expected at Minnesota this weekend. The rising three-star was in Minneapolis earlier this season for the Iowa game. Will be interesting to see if the Gophers' staff can get him the flip.
TJ McWilliams, WR, North Central (Ind.) - Current Purdue commitment. Obviously, the Boilers are going through a coaching transition, but it's obvious the three-star is wanting to keep his option open. Purdue had an in-home visit with him earlier this week. However, his position coach at Purdue, Garrick McGee, is heading to Louisville with Jeff Brohm.
Matt Kingsbury, LB, St. Rita (Ill.) - Has 27 offers from pretty much all the MAC schools along with Navy, Army, and Air Force. Doesn't have an offer from Minnesota, but could pick one up during his visit as these things typically happen. Minnesota's top remaining LB target, Asa Newsom, is taking an official visit to Kentucky this weekend. Depending on how things play out with Newsom, could see Kingsbury being a fall back option.
