Gophers football bolstered its offensive line Sunday with two 2021 additions.
First was 6-8, 280-pound four-star Chicago offensive tackle Cameron James, who announced his commitment on Twitter.
"This decision wasn't easy, but I felt like it was the best option for me," James wrote as part of his tweet.
James, who attends Simeon High School, had scholarship offers from several Power Five schools, including Arizona, Indiana, Kentucky and Michigan State.
