Ersery, a fourth-year sophomore from Kansas City, Mo., earned second-team All-Big Ten honors this season after being an honorable mention choice in 2022. The 6-6, 325-pounder has been a starter at left tackle the past two seasons.
Ersery joins prominent teammates Daniel Jackson, Justin Walley, Darius Taylor, Jah Joyner and Danny Striggow in announcing their return to the Minnesota program, crediting their Dinkytown Athletes, the name, image and likeness collective that consults with the athletic department.
Max Brosmer's 1-yard plunge with under a minute remaining, his third TD of the game, gave the Gophers the late lead and Koi Perich's acrobatic interception set off a wild celebration at Huntington Bank Stadium.
