One of those linemen, Curtis Dunlap, is 6-4 and 368 pounds.
He's the small one.
The other, Daniel Faalele, is 6-8 and 400 pounds.
Faalele, rated a three-star offensive tackle by recruiting-focused website 247Sports.com, announced via Twitter he will visit the Gophers this weekend. The Melbourne, Australia, native is relatively new to football, enrolling at IMG Academy in 2016 and playing varsity football for the first time this fall. Faalele (pronounced Fah-ah-LAY-lay) has been featured in Sports Illustrated, ESPN and USA Today.
Faalele's scholarship offers include big-name programs such as Michigan, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Auburn. He made an unofficial visit to the Gophers in March, when he received an offer.
