The Gophers football program picked up a commitment Monday from speedy wide reciever Braiden Stevens for its 2026 recruiting class.
The three-star prospect from Platte County High School in Platte City, Mo., was committed to South Dakota State before the U, Nebraska, West Virginia and others offered scholarships this fall.
Stevens, who is listed at 5-foot-8 and 165 pounds, took an official visit to Minnesota for the 23-20 overtime win over Michigan State on Saturday.
Stevens, who also participates in track and field, is known for his speed, which is presumed to be in the range of 4.4 seconds in the 40-yard dash and 10.4 in the 100-meter dash.
Stevens is the 25th commitment in the U’s class for next season. He comes aboard after Utah receiver Kai Meza left the class in September and then pledge to California.
