Eric Amoako, a 5-foot-11, 195 defensive back recently announced he was going to transfer to Minnesota as a graduate transfer meaning that he will be eligible to play the 2016 season.

Out of high school, Amoako signed with Oregon with twin brother, Stephen, after attending Arlington (TX) Martin. Amoako redshirted as a freshman and transferred after seeing limited playing time with the Ducks the following year. He transferred to Houston Baptist to be closer to home, where he played the last two seasons. His brother Stephen transferred from Oregon after three years to Illinois State.

Gopher Hole recently caught up with Amoako to learn the latest on his decision to transfer to Minnesota.
