Gophers Land Iowa OL Drake Buthe

Minnesota’s 2027 recruiting class just got a big boost with the commitment of Drake Buthe, a 6-foot-5, 260-pound offensive lineman from Glenwood, Iowa. A standout wrestler who placed third in the state heavyweight division, Buthe brings Midwest grit and a solid frame perfect for the Big Ten. Though not nationally ranked highly, he chose Minnesota after a late-May visit, joining fellow Iowa linemen Will Clausen and others to form a growing offensive line core. The Gophers’ staff clearly saw potential in him, making him the fifth offensive lineman in the class and the second from Iowa. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
