The Gophers landed their second offensive line recruit in two days -- and fourth for the Class of 2017 -- on Friday when Nebraska's Brett Kitrell gave them a verbal commitment.
Kitrell is a consensus three-star recruit from Ashland-Greenwood High School who also had reported offers from Central Florida, Air Force and Ohio.
On Thursday, the Gophers got a commitment from Florida offensive lineman Corey Gaynor. Their other two offensive line commits are Marshall's Blaise Andries and Robbinsdale Cooper's Eric Abojei.
Kitrell announced his decision on Twitter:
