Well here we are again. Another day under the cloud of COVID-19, another verbal commitment for head coach P.J. Fleck and co. This time the pledge comes from defensive tackle Albert Regis, who is the Gophers’ third Lone Star State recruit in this class and now the 14th member overall.

247 Sports Scouting Report
Adequate size but limited frame relative to position projection. Owns a unique multi-positional background on both sides of the ball. Has played tight end and fullback on offense, plus interior D-line in four- and three-man fronts. Flashes impressive lateral quick-footedness that aids in terrific pursuit ability. Motor runs high. Range from sideline to sideline vs. the run. Runs very well for his size, to the point of being a RAC threat on offense. Also high-points and shows good ball skills at tight end. Leverage aids in promising close-quarters power, whether as a blocker or when attacking an O-lineman. Less-than-ideal frame limits physical ceiling. Occasionally gets overwhelmed by size/strength in the phone booth. Athletic context limited to one track time from sophomore year, albeit a good one (11.53 100). Plays seek-and-destroy defensive style and must hone technique, including get-off consistency and expanding move set. Very unique defensive line prospect with promising collection of tools. Projects to high-major level as potential multi-year starter once developed.
