Running back Ryan Estrada is the Gophers’ second-highest-rated commitment at No. 244 overall, No. 20 running back nationally, and the No. 33 player in the state of Texas.
In-state defensive line commitment Howie Johnson is the third and final Gopher ranked within the Rivals300 at No. 270 nationally and the No. 25 defensive linemen in the country.
