(*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 second local commit to the Gophers from this past weekend was Highland Park’s Josh Aune. A high school safety who may remain there for his collegiate career or will move to outside linebacker when he arrives on campus.
Aune has been lightly recruited but after testing well at the Nike Chicago Opening and then having a good camp here last weekend, the Gopher staff decided to give him an offer.
