Minnesota Gophers receive commitment from Enoch Atewogbola
They don’t have a ton of 2025 high school recruits stacking up (seven in total), but they’ve had some high quality hits in the commitments they have gotten, which now includes defensive end Enoch Atewogbola, of Avon, IN.
1000% COMMITTED! #GOGOPHERS #ROWTHEBOAT @RobGibsonHC @RyanJBallou @bringthehammer @raycp315@CoachThompson13 @CoachCam_CamQBs@CoachDSchauss @IndianaPreps @Bryan_Ault @AllenTrieu pic.twitter.com/5frrQFYZMi

Atewogbola appears to just now be hitting his recruiting stride. He holds offers from Marshall, Boston College, Western Michigan and Northern Illinois. Nonetheless, according to Ryan Burns (247Sports), the Minnesota coaching staff “went and saw the Avon defensive end work out earlier this week, and immediately offered afterwards”.
His HUDL film won’t make you fall in love, but whatever the Gophers saw in the 6’4″, 215 lb high school junior during that workout was obviously enough for them to feel comfortable being the first power four conference offer on Enoch’s sheet. 247Sports.com has Atewogbola rated as an 86-overall 3-star.
