Wednesday marked the first day for recruits to sign national letters of intent, and the University of Minnesota football team had an early start to the day with players from the Eastern time zone committing quickly.
For the Gophers, the signatures started rolling in right away, beginning with Aidan Gousby of Lehigh Senior High School in Lehigh Acres, Fla., being the first player announced at 6:04 a.m. Listed as an athlete because of his versatility, the 6-2, 185-pound Gousby projects as a cornerback for the Gophers.
