The Gophers football program picked up another transfer commitment from within the Big Ten Conference.
Purdue defensive tackle Mo Omonode announced his commitment to the U on Tuesday. He follows Iowa cornerback John Nester, who pledged to Minnesota over the weekend.
Omonode played in 33 total games for the Boilermakers over three seasons and appears to have one year of eligibility remaining for Minnesota.
The 6-foot, 286-pound defensive tackle posted 11 tackles and one sack across 286 defensive snaps last season. The West Lafayette, Ind., native also served as captain in three games.
Omonode had 14 tackles and two sacks in 12 games in 2023 and seven tackles in 11 games in his freshman year in 2022.
The Gophers have experienced tackles Deven Eastern and Jalen Logan-Redding in the middle of their defensive front but felt the need to add veteran help going into 2025.
