Surgers might as well play on that huge offensive line of Minnesota with how big he is. He comes in at 6-foot-5, 265 pounds.
He will definitely add some power on the defensive line with his size. The Golden Gophers will welcome his addition after losing D-lineman Nyles Pinckney, Micah Dew-Treadway, Val Martin, Esezi Otomewo, and Boye Mafe who are out of eligibility following the 2021 season.
He’ll now be heading from Nashville to Minneapolis.
