Defensive line coach Jeff Phelps is the rep on the recruiting trail in Indiana. Here's a look at who the Gophers have already offered and other targets they most likely be visiting.
The prize recruit of all the Indiana prospects is five-star quarterback and Clemson commit Hunter Johnson. Bryant Fitzgerald, a three-star safety who is committed to Indiana, said Phelps is planning to visit him during this period and he plans to visit Minnesota. LeShaun Minor, a defensive tackle in Indianapolis, recently told CycloneReport.com that Indiana and Iowa State are his two favorites schools at the moment, but did say he wants to visit Minnesota this summer.
Here are high to mid-profile recruits they will likely visit
RJ Potts, S, Fishers HS. 4-star safety with offers from Notre Dame, Purdue, Indiana and Iowa State, to name a few. Said he wants to visit Tennessee, Missouri, Notre Dame, Indiana and maybe Penn State this spring.
