The Gophers continued rounding out this year's recruiting class Monday, when they got a commitment from Bryce Witham, a tight end from Grand Rapids (Mich.) West Catholic.
The 6-4, 240-pound Witham is a consensus three-star recruit who also had reported offers from Central Michigan, Southern Miss and Toledo. He is the Gophers' 21st commitment in this year's class. Witham announced his decision on Twitter:
Proud to say that I have committed to the University of Minnesota and will be a Golden Gopher!!!!! #Blessed#Glory2God pic.twitter.com/hiPpY0OMaB
