The Gophers football program added Purdue transfer offensive lineman Jaden Ball on Saturday.

Ball, who is listed at 6-foot-5 and 300 pounds, did not play as a freshman with the Boilermakers and has four years of eligibility remaining for the U.

Ball was a three-star prospect coming out of Bloom-Carroll (Ohio) High School. He had roughly 20 scholarship offers, including Kentucky, but Minnesota was not in the mix.

The Gophers have now added five players via the portal this spring, including Purdue defensive tackle Mo Omonode. The U added Boilermakers tight end Drew Bieber before spring semester.

News of Ball was first reported by On3.
