Gopher Hole caught up with Abojei Sunday evening to learn more on his commitment.

Gopher Hole: You committed to Minnesota today. What made you realize that Minnesota was where you wanted to play college football?

Eric Abojei: Basically, the connection that I had, especially with the coaches at the U of M. That made me realize who I wanted to be with, where I thought would be best for me.
