After taking a look at Minnesota's recruiting efforts in the 2025 recruiting cycle at quarterback on Wednesday, we turn our attention to the running backs.
Currently, Minnesota's running back room has quite a bit of scholarship depth and that doesn't account for key walk-on Jordan Nubin either. Following this season, the Gophers will have five scholarship running backs on the roster heading into 2025 as Bryce Williams and Marcus Majors will exhaust their eligbility this season.
With that, the Gophers could choose to once again take two running backs in the 2025 recruiting class much like they did in 2024 but as of right now, we would expect the coaching staff to take one running back. Though that could change.
The Gophers board at running back is still filling out as running backs coach Nic McKissic-Luke continues to build and organize his board. While there are a few indications of who may be at the top of that board, we will go quickly go over each of the 10 running backs the Gophers have offered so far this cycle.
