Gophers add to 2026 recruiting class with Wisconsin athlete
The Gophers football program picked up a commitment from Wisconsin prep athlete Lamont Hamilton on Sunday.
Hamilton, who is listed at 6-foot and 170 pounds, plays receiver and defensive back at St. Catherine’s High School in Racine, Wis. He visited Minnesota for the 27-20 win over Purdue on Saturday.
“I would like to thank Coach (Nick) Monroe, Coach (P.J.) Fleck and the rest of the Minnesota staff for this amazing opportunity,” Hamilton wrote on X. “I am extremely excited to announce that I have committed to the University of Minnesota.”
Hamilton, who does not yet have a star rating, has other offers from Illinois State, Kent State, Northern Iowa and Western Illinois. The Gophers offered Hamilton a scholarship in January, while the in-state Badgers have not offered.
Hamilton is the 25th overall commitment in the Gophers 2026 recruiting class.
