The Gophers added another running back to their 2015 recruiting class Thursday, when they got a verbal commitment from Shannon Brooks, from Pickens High School, in Jasper, Ga.

The 5-10, 198-pound Brooks also had a reported offer from Georgia Tech. Rivals.com lists him as a two-star recruit.

The Gophers now have 13 commitments for their 2015 class, including three running backs -- Brooks, James Johannesson (Fargo South) and Jonathan Femi-Cole (Vaughan, Ontario).
