2026 running back Delvecchio Alston II, a 5-foot-11, 190-pound prospect from Hewitt-Trussville High School (Trussville, Ala.), has scheduled an official visit to Minnesota for the weekend of May 30. The dual-sport athlete received an offer from the Gophers in late February.
Alston was one of new running backs coach Jayden Everett's first offers with the Gophers after joining the staff last month. Everett had previously offered Alston during his brief tenure at South Alabama in January, with an established relationship, Alston was an easy offer for Everett upon arriving in Minnesota.
