The Gophers landed a commitment Sunday from Winston DeLattiboudere, a defensive end from Howard High School in Ellicott City, Maryland.

DeLattiboudere was named the Baltimore Sun's All-Metro Defensive Player of the Year last fall after making 101 tackles, including 42 for a loss. He has been an under-the-radar recruit, though, with no star ranking from either Rivals.com or 247Sports.com.

The Gophers now have 24 commitments heading into national signing day on Wednesday.

Joe Christensen, a Star Tribune sports team leader, graduated from the University of Minnesota and spent 15 years covering Major League Baseball, including stops at the Riverside Press-Enterprise and Baltimore Sun. He joined the Star Tribune in 2005 and spent four years covering Gophers football.
