Gophers add speedy receiver Quayd Hendryx to 2026 class
The Gophers football program flipped receiver Quayd Hendryx from his commitment to Connecticut on Saturday.
The 5-foot-11, 175-pound product of Atco, N.J., pledged to UConn in July, before offers from the Gophers, Nebraska and West Virginia came in during November. He also had offers from Syracuse, Temple and others.
“After a long and meaningful conversation with my family and coaches, I’ve decided to change my commitment to the University of Minnesota!!!” Hendryx wrote on X.
Hendryx visited Minnesota in November and was planning to go to Lincoln, Neb., for their regular-season finale against Iowa this week.
At Winslow Township High School, Hendryx displayed speed as a New Jersey champion in the 100-meter, 200-meter and 100-meter relay. He also plays basketball.
Hendryx — a three-star recruit, per 247Sports — is the fifth receiver commitment in the U’s 2026 class. The group has a whopping 31 total members with the early signing window opening Dec. 3.
