The second of three Hutchinson Community College players has left the Gophers 2026 recruiting class.
Safety Michael “MJ Graham said late Tuesday that he will de-commit from the U class for next year. He pledged to the U after a visit earlier this month. Graham, of Oklahoma City, joined fellow Hutchinson (Kan.) player, receiver Derrick Salley, in backing away from the U. Salley made his decision public earlier Tuesday.
“After a thoughtful conversation with my family I will be de-committing for the University of Minnesota,” Graham wrote on X. “I like to thank all the coaches and staff there, and I appreciate them for believing in me and giving me a opportunity!”
Meanwhile, Hutchinson defensive tackle KJ Henson is still in the Gophers’ class on Wednesday morning.
Graham, who is listed at 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds, is considered a three-star recruit, per 247Sports.
