Recruiting continues to heat up for the Minnesota Golden Gophers, even as recruits are not allowed to visit campus due to restrictions imposed by the NCAA. Head coach P.J. Fleck and co. have earned their third verbal commitment in the month of April, reaching back into the state of Georgia to get wide receiver Lemeke Brockington.

Scouting Report
Brockington is an up-and-coming recruit in the state of Georgia. A year ago, he held one scholarship offer and that was from Charlotte. But since finishing his junior season with 53 catches for 923 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns, he has racked up offers from nearly a dozen Power 5 programs. If you’ve watched his highlights, it’s not difficult to see why. Brockington is a versatile playmaker who can take the top off a defense or take a short pass and get yards after the catch with his speed and elusiveness. He also has good strength and even better hands, with the ability to challenge for the ball and make catches away from his body.
