Gophers football: Promising Wayzata defensive lineman first pledge to 2027 class
The Gophers football program picked up a commitment from Wayzata defensive lineman Eli Diane on Saturday. He is the fist pledge in the U’s 2027 recruiting class.
Diane, who is listed at 6-foot-4 and 235 points, had other offers from Iowa, Wisconsin, Rutgers, Iowa State, Kansas State and Colorado State.
“1000% committed,” Diane wrote in social media.
The Gophers offered a scholarship on Feb. 2 and he has made multiple visits to Dinkytown since then.
Entering his junior year, Diane does not have many recruiting rankings yet, but On3 initially pegged him as a four-star prospect.
