Minnesota has landed a 2-star running back prospect in Ellsworth (WI) High School standout Max Grand. He made his announcement to become a Golden Gopher over his Twitter account.

“First off, I would like to thank God for guiding me through this process and answering my many prayers,” wrote Grand. “I would also like to thank my Mom for teaching me how to be a kind person and for the many hours of travel and sacrifice…

“My prosperity, hope, and future will be at the University of Minnesota!”

Grand is considered a preferred walk-on for the Gophers.

The Minnesota 2022 recruiting class got off to a quick start this spring when Jacob Knuth, Coleman Bryson, Kristen Hoskins, and Tony Nelson joined four-star Trey Bixby in Minnesota’s class.
