(*Editor's note...What the heck does "Commitment to Eight" mean? It is our new recurring title for recruit commitments referencing a commitment to work towards the Gopher's Eighth National Championship.)
The Gophers received a big verbal commitment from Illinois native, Elijah Teague. What makes this early verbal fun is that Teague has legit offers from a number of schools the Gophers do not typically compete with for recruits.
Teague attended a Gopher camp last summer and dominated. The new staff was quick to be in contact and offer this highly sought after defensive tackle.
