Minnesota’s regular season ended in 6-7 disappointment. With Oregon, USC, UCLA and Washington all joining the Big Ten next year and divisions going by the wayside, a lot of movement and changes are expected this offseason.
Minnesota Gophers Football Transfer Portal Tracker (2024)
The transfer portal opened weeks ago. As of Monday, Jan. 8 at 4 PM, Minnesota has eight committed transfer portal players and four others who had verbally committed to the Gophers at one time, only to change their minds later.
The biggest incoming name is New Hampshire quarterback Max Brosmer, who is expected to be our new starting QB in 2024. Ethan Robinson (Bucknell) had offers from all over, including helmet schools like USC. The Gophers also recently picked up huge commitments from WR Cristian Driver, and RB Marcus Major who look to have big impacts.
