The Gophers received official paperwork Wednesday, the first day transfer students can accept football scholarships, from Damien Wilson, a linebacker from Jones County (Miss.) Junior College, the university announced.

Wilson plans to enroll in time for the start of the semester in January and will take part in spring practices.
