The Minnesota Golden Gophers are on a roll when it comes to their 2019 recruiting class, adding four commitments on Sunday.

And, the day isn’t even over yet, so we’ll see if more is to come for coach P.J. Fleck’s squad before the clock strikes midnight.

The day started with 3-star LB James Gordon IV of Florida committing to Minnesota. Gordon is the No. 71 outside linebacker in the class of 2019 and the No. 136 overall recruit from the state of Florida, per the 247Sports composite:

Next up was T.J. Robinson, a safety who flipped from USF to Minnesota. Per the 247Sports composite, he’s the No. 127 safety in the class of 2019 and the No. 189 overall recruit from the state of Florida:

The third commitment of the day came from Cleveland OLB Donald Willis, the No. 54 outside linebacker in the class of 2019 and the No. 36 overall recruit from Ohio, according to the 247Sports composite:

And finally (for now), DT DeAngelo Griffin, a 3-star Georgia native, announced his commitment. The 247Sports composite has him listed as the No. 85 defensive tackle in the class of 2019 and the No. 119 overall recruit from the state of Georgia:

With Sunday’s rash of commitments, the Gophers now have 15 players in their 2019 class. That class currently ranks No. 4 in the Big Ten and No. 18 in the country, per 247Sports.
