  20.  &lt;p&gt;Minnesota also added three instant playmakers in the portal&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="8zXgV7"&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.thedailygopher.com"&gt;Minnesota Golden Gophers&lt;/a&gt; women’s hockey team received some great news this week when it was officially announced that 5th year senior Abbey Murphy will return for her 6th year with the Gophers instead of entering the PWHL Draft.  Murphy is eligible to play one more season in the Maroon and Gold due her her freshman year being the 2020-21 COVID season, and the fact she took an Olympic Redshirt season in 2021-22.  He will return to anchor a Gopher lineup that added a trio of new playmakers in the transfer portal this offseason and will give Minnesota one of their best looking offensive lineups on paper in several seasons.&lt;/p&gt;
  21. &lt;p id="X2TPBg"&gt;Murphy would have been the consensus #1 overall pick in the PWHL Draft this summer had she decided to go pro, but she decided she would return to the Gophers for one more run at a NCAA title that has eluded her.  “I’m beyond excited to announce I will be coming back for my final year of college hockey,” Murphy said. “I am pumped for another go around with this team. It’s been a great ride but we’re not done yet. Go Gophers!”&lt;/p&gt;
  22. &lt;p id="JlqLzx"&gt;Murphy just kept getting better and better for Minnesota.  Her 65 points last season was a career high and ranked fourth in the nation.  She ranked second in the nation in goals (33), and led the nation in both game-winning goals (7) and shots (242). Murphy will enter her final collegiate season with a run on the record books as well.  She has tallied 103 goals in Maroon &amp;amp; Gold, sixth-most in program history.  Barring injury she should end up at at least #2 on the Minnesota career goal scoring list by the time she is done passing  Krissy Wendell at 106, Amanda Kessel at 108, Grace Zumwinkle at 109, and Hannah Brandt at 115. Murphy will likely miss a month of the season to play on the 2026 US Olympic Team, so that will likely hurt her chance to pass current &lt;a href="https://www.landgrantholyland.com"&gt;Ohio State&lt;/a&gt; Head Coach Nadine Muzerall for the all time scoring record of 139.   Murphy also has 92 career assists, and with another “average” Murphy season she will end up near the top 3 all time in points for a Gopher by the time her career ends.   &lt;/p&gt;
  23. &lt;p id="OeZlml"&gt;While Murphy loses one of her talented linemates in senior center Ella Huber to graduation, she will return senior Josefin Bouveng to help her rack up the point totals.  &lt;/p&gt;
  24. &lt;p id="VGIoP9"&gt;She also will have some new teammates who know a thing about scoring goals and assisting on them.  Minnesota added a trio of impact players from the transfer portal thus far this spring who will play a large role in the Minnesota lineup next season.&lt;/p&gt;
  25. &lt;p id="LhZppU"&gt;Andover native Jamie Nelson will head up Highway 169 for her final season of eligibility.  She played four seasons for Minnesota State-Mankato where she was their best player. In 124 career games, she tallied 103 points (42g-61a), the third most all-time in program history. Nelson tied her career-high with 30 points last season (8g-22a), leading the Mavericks in points, assists, and shots. &lt;/p&gt;
  26. &lt;p id="eL4jvX"&gt;Senior forward Sarah Paul is transferring from Princeton to join the Gophers for the 2025-26 season.  The West Kelowna B.C native (the same area as rising sophmores Chloe Primarano and Gracie Graham) leaves he Tigers after a junior season where she exploded.  Paul earned All-ECAC Second Team and Second Team All-Ivy honors after recording a career-high 36 points last season (28g-8a), leading the Tigers in goals and shots (178), and ranking third in total points. She led Division I hockey in points per game (0.90) and power play goals (10). Her 19 conference goals ranked first in the ECAC.  For her career she has 64 points in 70 career games including 46 goals.  &lt;/p&gt;
  27. &lt;p id="Fw550t"&gt;The final transfer will shore up the Gophers blue line.  Molly Jordan will keep the same colors, but move from Boston College to Minnesota for her final two years of eligibility.  The Berlin, Connecticut native anchored the Eagles blue line last season.  In 69 career games she tallied 41 points (12g-29a). Jordan earned All-Hockey East Second-Team honors after notching a career-high 24 points last season (8g-16a), leading Eagle blueliners in points, goals, assists, and shots. Her three game-winning goals last season tied for second-most on the team, and she ranked fourth on the Eagles in total points.  She joins a potent crap of defenders that return for the Gophers including sophomores Primerano and Graham, and seniors Sydney Morrow, and Neli Laitinen.  &lt;/p&gt;
  28. &lt;p id="8mhYbs"&gt;Minnesota is bringing in extra talent as they will likely need to play shorthanded during the 2026 Olympics.  Besides Murphy playing for Team USA it is likely that Bouveng will play for Sweden, Laitinen will play for Finland, and Primerano may make the Canadian roster.  Additionally incoming freshman forward Theresa Plosova will play for Czechia.  It’s yet unknown how much time they will miss, but it could be upwards of a month as teams head to training camps and play exhibition games ahead of the actual games which will take place from February 6-February 22 in Milan/ Cortina, Italy. &lt;/p&gt;

  48.  &lt;p&gt;The three-game series is crucial to Big Ten Tournament qualification&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="SujobT"&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.thedailygopher.com"&gt;Minnesota Golden Gophers&lt;/a&gt; baseball team will play their final three home games in the 2025 season this weekend when they host the &lt;a href="https://www.testudotimes.com"&gt;Maryland Terrapins&lt;/a&gt; for a three-game Big Ten series.  Minnesota has just six games remaining in the regular season and currently sits in a tie for 15th place in the conference with Maryland.  Both the Gophers and Terrapins are just two game out of the #12 spot in the conference standings and the final &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/big-ten-basketball-tournament"&gt;Big Ten Tournament&lt;/a&gt; bid, but have three teams ahead of them to leap over into the spot.  Thus, this weekend is a defacto elimination series with the loser likely resigned to finishing their season next weekend. &lt;/p&gt;
  49. &lt;p id="FbjRfW"&gt;The Gophers went into Lincoln last weekend and dramatically pulled out a 10-onning win in the series opener or Friday night, but would drop games two and three to the &lt;a href="https://www.cornnation.com"&gt;Nebraska Cornhuskers&lt;/a&gt; to fall three games back of them in the conference standings.   Minnesota  heads into their final home series of the season with an overall record of 22-24 and 8-16 in conference play.  &lt;/p&gt;
  50. &lt;p id="9c4xJp"&gt;Maryland took two out of three games at Penn State last weekend, and then won a midweek game over James Madison on Wednesday night in ten innings.  They enter the weekend with a 23-27 overall record and an identical 8-16 Big Ten record.  &lt;/p&gt;
  51. &lt;p id="mUzvXc"&gt;Friday night the Gophers will throw their 2025 ace in Joe Sperry.  The junior from Rochester enters the weekend with a 4-1 record in just over 42 innings pitched with an era of 4.63 and 30 strikeouts.  He started in the win last Friday in Lincoln throwing 4.2 innings and allowing just one run and three hits.  The Terrapins will counter with Kyle McCoy who is 5-2 on the season with an ERA of 3.00 and  65 strikeouts in 2 innings pitched.   &lt;/p&gt;
  52. &lt;p id="NZb2yA"&gt;Saturday the Gophers will send sophomore Kyle Remmington to the hill.  He doesn't have a great win/loss record entering the weekend at just 1-6 and an ERA of 4.58.  But he does miss bats striking out 46 batters in 56 innings pitched.  Maryland counters with Joey McMannis who is 1-2 and has a 9.26 ERA in 35 innings pitched.&lt;/p&gt;
  53. &lt;p id="qL9mY5"&gt;Sunday’s pitchers are TBD, but last Sunday in Lincoln Minnesota started Senior Justin Thorsteinson who is 3-3 with a 5.91 ERA on the year.  &lt;/p&gt;
  54. &lt;p id="zzibGl"&gt;Minnesota will need their bats to come alive this weekend.  Outfielder Parker Knoll leads the way for the Gophers with a .318 batting average.  Drew Berkland and Weber Neels both have 12 home runs on the season to lead the team, and Berkland’s 48 RBI are tops for the Maroon and Gold.   The Terrapins are led offensively by Chris Hacopian who is hitting .372 with a .622 slugging percentage.   Hollis Porter leads the Terps with 20 home runs on the season and 61 RBI.  &lt;/p&gt;
  55. &lt;p id="HxfbH7"&gt;Minnesota needs to go at least 2-1 if not 3-0 this weekend to have a chance to win their way into the Big Ten Tournament next weekend.  The Gophers finish the regular season at &lt;a href="https://www.theonlycolors.com"&gt;Michigan State&lt;/a&gt; next weekend who also is in a fight for that final Big Ten Tournament spot.  Nebraska is 11-13 and sits in the #11 spot headed into the weekend while the Spartans and Northwestern are both 10-14 and in a tie for 12th.  Purdue is in 14th and 9-15, one game ahead of both Minnesota and Maryland.  This weekend Purdue is at Indiana, Michigan State is at USC, Northwestern goes to last place &lt;a href="https://www.landgrantholyland.com"&gt;Ohio State&lt;/a&gt;, and Nebraska hosts Michigan.  All but Northwestern are facing teams ahead of them in the standings, so the Gophers can make up some significant ground with a sweep of the Terrapins this weekend.  &lt;/p&gt;
  56. &lt;p id="cuunQq"&gt;Friday night’s game is set for a 6PM first pitch, Saturday’s game will start at 3PM, and Sunday’s Senior Day will be a 1 PM Start.  Friday and Saturday’s games will stream on B1G+, and Sunday’s finale will air live on Big Ten Network. &lt;/p&gt;

  76.  &lt;p&gt;The Gopher junior looks to return to the NCAA Championships&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="q7CTmx"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.thedailygopher.com"&gt;Minnesota Golden Gophers&lt;/a&gt; junior Bella McCauley will try and earn her return ticket to the NCAA Championships for the third consecutive season when she tees off at the 2025 NCAA Columbus Regional on Monday at the &lt;a href="https://www.landgrantholyland.com"&gt;Ohio State&lt;/a&gt; University Golf Course.  McCauley is joined by 12 teams and five other individual qualifiers to determine who will advance to the 2025 NCAA Women’s Golf Championships.  &lt;/p&gt;
  77. &lt;p id="DziTse"&gt;The Inver Grove Heights native will look to earn her way to the NCAA Championships for a third-straight year. In 2023 as a freshman McCauley competed at the NCAA Westfield Regional and shot a three-round total of 209 (-7). She followed that up last season by finishing as runner up at the 2024 NCAA Auburn Regional with a score of 214 (-2).  She would advance to the NCAA Championships in both seasons and finished in 77th plac in 2023 and 83rd place in 2024.  Heading into the Columbus Regional, McCauley is ranked 63rd in the nation and has five top-10 finishes this season, including a win in the Ron Moore Intercollegiate last fall. She earned Second Team All-Big Ten honors this season. &lt;/p&gt;
  78. &lt;p id="siPxHm"&gt;McCauley will play in the 54 hole event with 18 holes on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.  The top five teams and the top individual player not on one of the advancing five teams will earn their spot to the 2025 NCAA Championships held May 16–21 at Omni La Costa Resort &amp;amp; Spa in Carlsbad, California.  McCauley will be competing against individual players from Youngstown State, Eastern Michigan, Harvard, Michigan, and Bradley.  &lt;/p&gt;
  79. &lt;p id="wbWTfP"&gt;Live scoring of the event can be found &lt;a href="https://scoreboard.clippd.com/tournaments/236562/scoring/player"&gt;HERE.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

  91.    <title>Meet Niko Medved’s staff</title>
  92.    <content type="html">  
  93.  
  94.    &lt;figure&gt;
  95.      &lt;img alt="" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/5QfEMDk3o-G39FaqFHVtKm5N7K4=/0x0:8169x5446/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/74061878/Medved_Niko_0136.0.jpg" /&gt;
  96.        &lt;figcaption&gt;Brad Rempel&lt;/figcaption&gt;
  97.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  98.  
  99.  &lt;p&gt;The new staff seems to be complete, here are your assistant coaches for Nike Medved and the Gophers&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="ukMDms"&gt;Last week, the University announced the final additions to Nike Medved’s coaching staff. Now that we know all of the names of the key assistant coaches, here is a brief introduction to the faces you’ll be seeing just a step below the Barn floor.&lt;/p&gt;
  100. &lt;p id="F8Sovl"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Armon Gates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  101. &lt;p id="N6IrfC"&gt;Gates is the brother of Missouri head coach Dennis Gates and comes to Minnesota after spending the last two seasons at Oklahoma under Porter Moser. He is no stranger to the Big Ten having spent nine seasons between Nebraska and Northwestern. &lt;/p&gt;
  102. &lt;p id="jBRK9h"&gt;Gates played for Kent State and has had other assistant coaching stops at Oregon, Loyola, TCU, Kent State and Western Kentucky. &lt;/p&gt;
  103. &lt;p id="24XpsM"&gt;He is known as a “high-energy” guy who is works his butt of in recruiting. &lt;/p&gt;
  104. &lt;p id="QIenIH"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brian Cooley&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  105. &lt;p id="fHgCJh"&gt;Cooley followed Medved from Colorado State, and this will be their fifth consecutive season together. Prior to CSU, Cooley spent five seasons at Wright State and nine seasons under Scott Nagy at South Dakota State. &lt;/p&gt;
  106. &lt;p id="sR5iaR"&gt;While at Colorado State, Colley worked with their big men and it is probably safe to assume that he will have the same role at Minnesota.&lt;/p&gt;
  107. &lt;p id="sZ7o4a"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dave Thorson&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  108. &lt;p id="xv2TIp"&gt;This should be a familiar name as Thorson is the lone holdover from Ben Johnson’s staff. But prior to coming to Minnesota Thorson was on Medved’s staff at CSU. &lt;/p&gt;
  109. &lt;p id="DPLplx"&gt;Thorson obviously brings deep relationships to the Minnesota high school coaching community and is known as a defensive-minded coach.&lt;/p&gt;
  110. &lt;p id="jUSc3f"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chad Warner&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  111. &lt;p id="2bC8sN"&gt;Warner comes to Minnesota after spending the past four seasons at Furman where he was the associate head coach this past season. Prior to Furman, Warner had 13 years of head coaching experience at the DII level at Flagler College and Shorter University, with a brief stint at Valpo as their recruiting coordinator in between. He took his Flagler team to the 2021 DII Final Four before losing to eventual champion, NW Missouri State.&lt;/p&gt;
  112. &lt;p id="Sfk9s0"&gt;He is a graduate of the University of Georgia, where he was a graduate assistant in 2002-03. And from there he had a few assistant jobs at Hampton-Sydney (DIII) and the College of William &amp;amp; Mary. &lt;/p&gt;
  113. &lt;p id="LTaH1D"&gt;He has spent most of his coaching career in the south and it is probably reasonable to assume he will spend some recruiting focus in that part of the country.&lt;/p&gt;
  114. &lt;p id="T0hfn6"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aaron Katsuma&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  115. &lt;p id="fdvJhl"&gt;Another former Gopher manager who worked his way up to Ast Director of Player Personnel under Richard Pitino and is now back at his alma mater. In between, Katsuma spent five seasons with Medved between Drake and Colorado State, then went to New Mexico to be an assistant under Pitino for two seasons.&lt;/p&gt;
  116. &lt;p id="hWR698"&gt;He is now rejoining Medved and returning to Minnesota as an assistant.&lt;/p&gt;
  117. &lt;p id="q1AW9e"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Joe De Ciman&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  118. &lt;p id="L9FiHO"&gt;Named as the program’s “Chief of Staff.” De Ciman will oversee all off-court activities for the program.&lt;/p&gt;
  119. &lt;p id="OirblX"&gt;He played at Colorado State and was on staff there for the past six seasons.&lt;/p&gt;
  120. &lt;p id="LxfE1c"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rachel Herndon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  121. &lt;p id="KP4Ody"&gt;Herndon is the program’s Director of Basketball Operations, she held the same title at Colorado State last season.&lt;/p&gt;
  122. &lt;p id="0k7auR"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anthony Holland&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  123. &lt;p id="ZNkK3q"&gt;The team’s Director of Player Personnel. He is a former Washington Huskie basketball player and spent last year at Colorado State as their graduate assistant.&lt;/p&gt;
  124. &lt;p id="yjGasq"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lucas Stieber&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  125. &lt;p id="VjjFsr"&gt;The team’s Director of Player Development. Stieber also spent last season at Colorado State as a graduate assistant. He is the grandson of Dick Bennett and he played collegiately for UW-Green Bay and Gardner Webb.&lt;/p&gt;

  145.  &lt;p&gt;The end is rapidly coming for the 2024-25 season&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="YIpOer"&gt;The end to the &lt;a href="https://www.thedailygopher.com"&gt;Minnesota Golden Gophers&lt;/a&gt; 2024-25 athletic season is rapidly approaching.  The Gopher softball team finishes their season this weekend after being eliminated from contention for the &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/big-ten-basketball-tournament"&gt;Big Ten Tournament&lt;/a&gt; last weekend.  The Gopher baseball team has a huge road series in Lincoln this weekend if they want to win their way back into their Big Ten Tournament field.  And the Gopher Track and Field Team will compete against some of the nation’s best deep in SEC Country.  Here is the schedule for the weekend and how you can keep up with all the action.&lt;/p&gt;
  146. &lt;h3 id="MInXR8"&gt;Gopher Softball:&lt;/h3&gt;
  147. &lt;p id="TJq6fD"&gt;Minnesota closes out the regular season with a three-game series against the &lt;a href="https://www.maizenbrew.com"&gt;Michigan Wolverines&lt;/a&gt; at Jane Sage Cowles Stadium this weekend.  Minnesota went 4-0 last weekend sweeping a pair of non-conference games each from Pitt and North Dakota at home.  Unfortunately, the Gophers were officially eliminated from Big Ten Tournament considerations after last weekend’s conference action guaranteed that Minnesota would finish lower than 12th place in the conference standings.  &lt;/p&gt;
  148. &lt;p id="QBmYeF"&gt;Minnesota heads into the final weekend of the year with an overall record of 19-28 and a 4-15 record in conference play.  It’s not been a great season for the Gophers, but hopefully they can send their seniors put with at least one more home win.&lt;/p&gt;
  149. &lt;p id="QOcJo7"&gt;Michigan enters the weekend with a record of 32-18 and a 9-10 Big Ten record.  They still have plenty to play for this weekend as while they are guaranteed to be in the Big Ten Tournament field, they would move anywhere between seeds 7-12 depending on this weekend’s results.  &lt;/p&gt;
  150. &lt;p id="RiUaTU"&gt;First pitch is scheduled for 6 Pm Friday, 1 PM Saturday and Noon Sunday,  and all will be streamed on B1G+. &lt;/p&gt;
  151. &lt;h3 id="3HJUxv"&gt;Gopher Baseball:&lt;/h3&gt;
  152. &lt;p id="5WW2Ej"&gt;The Gopher baseball team heads to Lincoln for a massive road series against the &lt;a href="https://www.cornnation.com"&gt;Nebraska Cornhuskers&lt;/a&gt; this weekend.  Minnesota fell to a tie for 14th place in the Big Ten after being swept by USC at Siebert Field last weekend.  The Top 12 teams advance to play in the Big Ten Tournament,  Minnesota has nine games left in the regular season, and all are against teams in the bottom half of the conference.  Nebraska is 9-12 in Big Ten play, two games ahead of the 7-14 Gophers.  The Cornhuskers are one of four teams tied at 9-12 sitting in spots 10-13 in the Big Ten standings.  &lt;a href="https://www.theonlycolors.com"&gt;Michigan State&lt;/a&gt; who the Gophers end their season at is also one of the four teams.  &lt;/p&gt;
  153. &lt;p id="aFEIao"&gt;The Gophers split their midweek games this week losing 6-3 to NDSU on Tuesday and defeating St. Thomas 11-0 on Wednesday both at Siebert Field. &lt;/p&gt;
  154. &lt;p id="HzckjY"&gt;First pitch is schedule for 6 PM Friday, 2 PM Saturday and 1 PM Sunday and will all stream on B1G+.  &lt;/p&gt;
  155. &lt;h3 id="Cy175q"&gt;Gopher Track and Field:&lt;/h3&gt;
  156. &lt;p id="D2NROG"&gt;The Gophers head down south to the  &lt;a href="https://www.andthevalleyshook.com"&gt;LSU&lt;/a&gt; Invitational in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on Saturday for their final meet of the regular season.  The meet will begin as early as 10 a.m. with the women’s hammer throw while track events are scheduled to begin at 12:10 p.m. CT. The tentative schedule has the meet concluding at around 4:20 p.m. CT. LSU’s meet is not scheduled to be live streamed but live results will be made available on &lt;a href="http://DeltaTiming.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DeltaTiming.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://live.deltatiming.com/meet-list?d=2025-05-03"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  157. &lt;p id="npmcLQ"&gt;The Gopher men continue their early success and are ranked 6th in the nation in the most recent rankings anchored by their incredble Greek duo of hammer throwers.&lt;/p&gt;
  158. &lt;p id="rs9nvk"&gt;On Wednesday at the Meet of the UnSaintly held at Hamline University, they both went off yet again. &lt;/p&gt;
  159. &lt;p id="iIVyK0"&gt;Gopher sophomore Angelos Mantzouranis threw the farthest throw in the nation for a collegian this season and the #3 throw all time by a collegiate athlete .&lt;/p&gt;

  195.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  196.  
  197.  &lt;p&gt;Both Gophers teams will see Wisconsin at home and in Madison&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="lYFltS"&gt;It seems like the 2024-25 basktball season just ended a few weeks ago—but already the gear up for the 2025-26 season is well underway.  The Big Ten officially announced the conference opponents for each men’s and women’s basketball team earlier this week.  Here is who the &lt;a href="https://www.thedailygopher.com"&gt;Minnesota Golden Gophers&lt;/a&gt; will face and where next season.&lt;/p&gt;
  198. &lt;p id="GGsRdg"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  199. &lt;h3 id="BIXJ6A"&gt;Gopher Men:&lt;/h3&gt;
  200. &lt;p id="6Ubdos"&gt;New head coach Niko Medved and his Minnesota squad will play three of the 17 other Big Ten teams both at home and on the road in their 20 game Big Ten regular season stale next season.  Joining Minnesota’s geographic rival in Wisconsin, it will be the &lt;a href="https://www.insidenu.com"&gt;Northwestern Wildcats&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://www.crimsonquarry.com"&gt;Indiana Hoosiers&lt;/a&gt; that will both head to The Barn and Minnesota will return with trips to Evanston and Bloomington.  &lt;/p&gt;
  201. &lt;p id="JpOUxa"&gt;The rest of Minnesota’s home opponents are: &lt;a href="https://www.blackheartgoldpants.com"&gt;Iowa Hawkeyes&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.testudotimes.com"&gt;Maryland Terrapins&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.theonlycolors.com"&gt;Michigan State Spartans&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.cornnation.com"&gt;Nebraska Cornhuskers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.onthebanks.com"&gt;Rutgers Scarlet Knights&lt;/a&gt;, UCLA Bruins and USC Trojans.&lt;/p&gt;
  202. &lt;p id="DZWqfq"&gt;Besides trips to Madison, Evanston, and Bloomington, the Gophers will also take road trips to: &lt;a href="https://www.thechampaignroom.com"&gt;Illinois Fighting Illini&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.maizenbrew.com"&gt;Michigan Wolverines&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.landgrantholyland.com"&gt;Ohio State&lt;/a&gt; Buckeyes, &lt;a href="https://www.blackshoediaries.com"&gt;Penn State Nittany Lions&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.hammerandrails.com"&gt;Purdue Boilermakers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.addictedtoquack.com"&gt;Oregon Ducks&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://www.uwdawgpound.com"&gt;Washington Huskies&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  203. &lt;p id="NSJIBc"&gt;The schedule is nearly a flip of the 2024-25 one.  Instead of a California trip, the Gophers will make their first Pacific Northwest trip to Oregon and Washington.  This season the Gophers played Michigan State, Penn State and Wisconsin both home and away, and will now split up with the Spartans coming back here and the Gophers headed to Happy Valley.  &lt;/p&gt;
  204. &lt;div id="yjfe00"&gt;

  210. &lt;/div&gt;
  211. &lt;h3 id="mOmM2F"&gt;Gopher Women:&lt;/h3&gt;
  212. &lt;p id="gk9Kyl"&gt;The Gopher women will play an 18-game Big Ten schedule once again, playing 16 of the 17 other conference teams once, and playing one team twice,  That team is Minnesota’s linked rival and thus the Gophers and &lt;a href="https://www.buckys5thquarter.com"&gt;Wisconsin Badgers&lt;/a&gt; will play one game both in Minneapolis and Madison. &lt;/p&gt;
  213. &lt;p id="HMgOqR"&gt;The rest of the home schedule is a flip of the 2024-25 road schedule and includes hosting: Maryland Terrapins, Michigan State Spartans, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Northwestern Wildcats, Ohio State Buckeyes, Purdue Boilermakers, UCLA Bruins, and the USC Trojans.&lt;/p&gt;
  214. &lt;p id="711Isa"&gt;Similarly the 2025-26 road schedule is a flip of the 24-25 home schedule and will see the Gophers making road trips to: Illinois Fighting Illini, Indiana Hoosiers, Iowa Hawkeyes, Michigan Wolverines, Oregon Ducks, Penn State Nittany Lions, Rutgers Scarlet Knights, and Washington Huskies. &lt;/p&gt;

  240.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  241.  
  242.  &lt;p&gt;While only three Gophers were drafted, at least seven others will be heading to training camp&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="1H52Xk"&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft"&gt;NFL Draft&lt;/a&gt; came to a close on Saturday afternoon with a trio of Gophers hearing their name called.  Aireontae Ersery was selected by the &lt;a href="https://www.battleredblog.com/"&gt;Houston Texans&lt;/a&gt; in the second round, Justin Walley was selected by the &lt;a href="https://www.stampedeblue.com/"&gt;Indianapolis Colts&lt;/a&gt; in the third round, and Cody Lindenberg was selected by the &lt;a href="https://www.silverandblackpride.com/"&gt;Las Vegas Raiders&lt;/a&gt; in the seventh round on Saturday.  At least a couple other Gophers were hoping to hear their name called, but when all 257 picks were said and done for, they didn’t end up on the final list.  But that doesn’t mean that the end is here for them.  At least seven Gophers have signed Undrafted Free Agent Deals on Saturday evening after the draft and will be headed to training camp just like the trio of drafted players this summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  243. &lt;h3 id="BVMe0D"&gt;QB Max Brosmer— Minnesota Vikings&lt;/h3&gt;
  244. &lt;p id="einMlH"&gt;The highlight of the UDFA class for the Gophers is quarterback Max Brosmer.  We said in our preview that the &lt;a href="https://www.dailynorseman.com/"&gt;Minnesota Vikings&lt;/a&gt; were interested in the quarterback but didn’t seem like a likely fit just because they didn’t have any late draft picks.  But they definately showed interest post draft.  According to the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Brosmer signed with the Vikings on an UDFA deal that will guarantee him $250,000.&lt;/p&gt;
  245. &lt;div id="uigdXL"&gt;
  246. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center"&gt;
  247. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Former University of Minnesota QB Max Brosmer is staying home, signing with the &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Vikings?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#Vikings&lt;/a&gt; on a deal that includes $250,000 guaranteed, per source. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So Kevin O’Connell gets two more young QBs in one day: Sam Howell in a trade, then Brosmer as an undrafted free agent. &lt;a href="https://t.co/OcE4UIelMj"&gt;pic.twitter.com/OcE4UIelMj&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1916267029604274257?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;April 26, 2025&lt;/a&gt;
  248. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  249. &lt;script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  250.  
  251. &lt;/div&gt;
  252. &lt;p id="Ya4Xhl"&gt;Brosmer is in a great spot with Minnesota—a QB savant with Kevin O’Connell as head coach, a room that has one sure fire starter in JJ McCarthy and then a muddled mess of newly acquired Sam Howell, Brett Rypien, and now Brosmer.  He will have every opportunity to win the #3 job in Minneapolis.  &lt;/p&gt;
  253. &lt;h3 id="Dcruj7"&gt;DE Jah Joyner— Las Vegas Raiders&lt;/h3&gt;
  254. &lt;p id="RU5cNj"&gt;Joyner is signing a UDFA with the Raiders according to media sources.  He will join Cody Lindenberg in the black and silver.  The Raiders have a stocked DL  led by Maxx Crosby, but there is roster spot in the back half of the roster where Joyner could potentially earn a roster spot.&lt;/p&gt;

  271. &lt;p id="roQ3IS"&gt;We all know Jackson can catch the ball better than almost anyone out there, and he will need to show off big time to earn a spot in Houston.  The Texans drafted a pair of &lt;a href="https://www.widerightnattylite.com"&gt;Iowa State&lt;/a&gt; wide outs in this year’s draft with Jaden Higgins going #34 overall and Jaylyn Noel going at #79 overall.  The Texans return  Nico Collins and Christian Kirk but do have uncertainty with an injured Tank Dell.  Jackson will need to earn special teams reps and wow the coaches with his route running and pass catching ability to stay on.  &lt;/p&gt;
  272. &lt;h3 id="zj761V"&gt;OG Tyler Cooper—Green Bay Packers&lt;/h3&gt;
  273. &lt;p id="5FDDrW"&gt;Cooper will sign with the host of this year’s draft and head to camp on a bike in Green Bay in July.  The St. Croix Falls, WI native returns to his home state and will try and earn a roster spot in a crowded group but with no real interior lineman standouts.&lt;/p&gt;

  289. &lt;/div&gt;
  290. &lt;p id="Q9Y4Fo"&gt;The Jaguars did not add any defensive line help in this year’s draft and that leaves a definite opening for Striggow to go in and make an impact.&lt;/p&gt;
  291. &lt;h3 id="u0mJrO"&gt;S Jack Henderson—Carolina Panthers&lt;/h3&gt;
  292. &lt;p id="WZ2brc"&gt;Henderson will sign with the Panthers and fits their defensive coordinator’s style completely according to Daniel House.&lt;/p&gt;

  295. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Ejiro Evero will deploy Jack Henderson as a hybrid DB in his defense. Very important role. Feature him in sub-packages, get him involved via pressure looks and roam him around.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Type of versatile DB that fits Evero's scheme and will compete hard across special teams units.… &lt;a href="https://t.co/ILetRuZZY3"&gt;https://t.co/ILetRuZZY3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Daniel House (@DanielHouseMN) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/DanielHouseMN/status/1916282332572532820?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;April 27, 2025&lt;/a&gt;

  300. &lt;p id="kYv7Dv"&gt;Henderson wowed scouts with his testing numbers at the Gopher Pro Day in march and could be a very sneaky player to earn a spot and find a good role in Carolina.&lt;/p&gt;
  301. &lt;h3 id="viYIb2"&gt;CB Ethan Robinson—Miami Dolphins&lt;/h3&gt;
  302. &lt;p id="9QoLcS"&gt;Ethan Robinson rounds out the Gophers who have officially signed UDFA deals immediately post draft as he will be headed to the &lt;a href="https://www.thephinsider.com/"&gt;Miami Dolphins&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  311. &lt;p id="EhThCq"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  312. &lt;p id="Inizzu"&gt;Robinson jumped what was the second highest vertical for a defensive back in this year’s draft class when he leaped 42” at the Minnesota Pro day in March.  The Dolphins have a good starting group in the secondary but there is open spots for whomever can impress the most in camp.  They added one corner in the draft in Jason Marshall, Jr from Florida in the 4th round. &lt;/p&gt;

  315. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;The moment of Gophers Pro Day, DB Ethan Robinson dropping a 42" vertical jump. They had to literally raise the bar for him.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For comparison, the highest vertical recorded at the combine was S Nick Emmanwori's 43". Robinson would have beat everyone else.&lt;a href="https://twitter.com/kare11?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;@kare11&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/GopherFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;@GopherFootball&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://t.co/O3YrXpMe3n"&gt;pic.twitter.com/O3YrXpMe3n&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— J.T.

  320. &lt;p id="sdWbiv"&gt;The Gophers have a few other players who could sign at a later date, or may find invites to rookie minicamps over the next few weeks including kicker Dragon Kesich, running back Marcus Major, tight end Nick Kallerup, OL Quinn Carroll, and wide out Elijah Spencer. &lt;/p&gt;

  356. &lt;p id="iUUhQH"&gt;Lindenberg will join a Raiders team that is in rebuild mode and will look to feature First round pick Ashton Jeanty in the run game.  The Raiders linebacker depth is not strong, so there is no reason if Lindenberg stays healthy that he should not make the Raiders roster and slowly develop from a special teams player into playing a role on the black and silver’s defense.  &lt;/p&gt;
