During the brief live period in July, Minnesota was able to host 2025 target Shamari Earls out of Chester (Va.) Thomas Dale. During his sophomore season, Earls starred at both wide receiver and safety for his high school during his sophomore season.
It appears the Gophers are recruiting the 6-foot-2, 180-pound prospect as a safety with Minnesota safeties/passing game coordinator Danny Collins heavily involved in Earls' recruiting process.
ON MINNESOTA:
"I loved campus. Liked how well me and Coach (Danny) Collins connected from talking about the defense and just conversing. The campus was really beautiful and academic buildings were good and of course football facilities. The amount of resources they have for wellness and recovery and the culture behind everything."
Earls also enjoyed the academic side of Minnesota, noting his interest in pursuing biomechanical engineering while also pursuing his football aspirations.
The Gophers made a strong impression on his visit as Earls noted they will be a program he strongly considers moving forward.
Earls also made a July visit to Michigan State, where he also holds an offer. Other notable offers on his resume include North Carolina, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia Tech, Penn State, South Carolina, Duke, and others.
