Gophers offer sophomore phenom defensive back
Add another offer to the stack for sophomore defensive back Jaylen Kelly-Powell. He already holds offers from Michigan, Northwestern, and Pittsburgh but now the Gophers have thrown their hat in the ring for the prospect thought to be a phenom in the defensive backfield.
The 6'1" 190 prospect is enjoying his recruitment so far and appreciates the offer from Minnesota. Here is what he had to say per Scout:
“I found out about the offer from my head coach,” Kelly-Powell told GopherDigest. “Words can’t even express how happy I am on receiving this offer. It’s a Big Ten school with a high quality education. Also a guy named Ray (Buford) is going there next year and I am planning on learning more from him. Me and him have known each other for like a year now. We workout together sometimes.”
It sounds like the Gophers have an early connection with Kelly-Powell. The name of the game in recruiting is getting prospects on campus for visits so we will see if the Gophers can get him to Minneapolis.
