Minnesota Football Recruiting: Four-star DB Koi Perich commits to the Gophers

I have to imagine that head coach P.J. Fleck and his coaching staff were in a celebratory mood this morning when they received a verbal commitment from Esko safety Koi Perich. The four-star safety is one of the most sought-after recruits in the state of Minnesota, but ultimately chose the Golden Gophers over offers from Wisconsin, Michigan, and other Power 5 programs.
