Realtime MN Gopher Football National Signing Day Tracker – 2026 Class
The Minnesota Gophers football signing day tracker for the 2026 class will keep fans updated on who has signed their National Letter of Intent for the 2026 Gopher football recruiting class, on National Signing Day (Dec. 3, 2025).
Minnesota isn’t a helmet school, and they don’t have the most NIL funding in the country. Thus, they don’t have the best recruiting class in 2026, either. Entering the day, Gopher football’s commitment list ranked No. 24 in the country (247Sports), which would be the highest a Minnesota recruiting class has ever ranked under PJ Fleck.
