The state of Minnesota is not considered a hotbed for recruiting, at least for football, so head coach P.J. Fleck and his coaching staff are faced with the challenge of venturing beyond their borders and bringing back the talent they need to compete in the Big Ten.

Where do they go? Well, 27 different states, to be exact. Since Fleck was hired as head coach in 2017, the Gophers have signed at least one recruit in 27 different states, in addition to Germany and Australia.
