Last week, Nolan Edmonds became PJ Fleck’s sixth commit of the 2018 class when he chose Minnesota over Boston College, Cal, Illinois, Kansas, Purdue, and Syracuse. The three-star’s decision was a result of both Minnesota football and academics.

“I'm committed to Minnesota because I feel it's a great opportunity and a program that fits the type of running back I am,” he said. “The coaches shared that they see me as an every down back and I agree with them. Academically, I'd like to study clinical psychology. I looked into the University’s psychology program before my commitment. I also like that the Mayo Clinic is near and there may be possible future opportunities there related to my degree.”
