NCAA News: The Minnesota Gophers and Wisconsin Badgers have had a long-running rivalry. In fact, they have been playing each other since 1890, and their rivalry is currently at a stalemate. The overall record right now between the two programs is 62-62-8. However, the Gophers are currently on a two-game winning streak. With the rivalry heating up lately, so has the recruiting game. Today, it was reported that a four-star offensive lineman from the Milwaukee area committed to the Golden Gophers.
Four-star offensive lineman Nathan Roy is committing to the Minnesota Gophers
On June 17, coach PJ Fleck and his staff made a splash by landing a top recruit in Wisconsin. Nathan Roy, a 6-5, 275-pound, four-star offensive tackle from Mukwonago, Wis., announced on Twitter who has committed to Minnesota to be part of their 2024 recruiting class. Roy committed while taking his official visit to the Gophers this weekend.
Roy is ranked as the No. 1 player in Wisconsin and the No. 13 ranked offensive tackle nationally in the 247Sports composite rankings of major recruiting services. He is the highest-ranked player in the 2024 class to commit to Minnesota.
This is an amazing compromise for many reasons
A star high school athlete from the state of Minnesota committing to play college sports for the Wisconsin Badgers is all too common. However, a Wisconsin native heading west to play for the Gophers is not that common. But the Gophers struck gold with four-star offensive lineman Nathan Roy committing on Saturday.
Roy also received offers from football powerhouses Ohio State, USC, Wisconsin, Tennessee and more.
