Gophers stock up with transfer defensive tackle Zion Chapman
The Gophers added another defensive tackle in the transfer portal with Florida International’s Xion Chapman committing to the U on Saturday.
Chapman is the 17th player to commit to the U since the portal opened one week ago and the second D-tackle after Naquan Crowder from Marshall on Tuesday.
Chapman, a 6-foot-4, 300-pound player from Allentown, Pa., visited Penn State on Tuesday before touring Minnesota later in the week. He was scheduled to go to Oklahoma State this weekend.
With two years of eligibility left, Chapman totaled 15 tackles, three for lost yards, two sack and a forced fumble in 12 games last season. He played at Lackawanna junior college in 2024.
Pro Football Focus charted 23 total pressures for Chapman in 202 pass-rush snaps. He played 315 tota snaps last season, with a solid 73.4 overall grade and a stronger 78.5 pass-rush mark.
