Gophers Land Top-Tier Receiver Carlos Ferguson

Minnesota just pulled off a recruiting coup with the verbal commitment of three-star wide receiver Carlos Ferguson, a 6-foot-4 Maryland standout nicknamed “Smooth.” Already their top receiver in this class and one of their highest-ranked prospects, Ferguson caught 59 passes for 900 yards and 10 TDs last season—and averaged 15 points and nearly 8 rebounds on the basketball court. He committed just days after his official visit, following an April 16 offer, and beat out big-name programs like Georgia and Penn State. Rated 608th nationally and 71st among receivers by 247Sports, Ferguson’s commitment—backed by new receivers coach Isaac Fruechte—signals a major boost to Minnesota’s receiving corps and could even push him into four-star status by signing day.
