The football Gophers have a commitment from a Florida athlete, who is 6-feet, 5-inches tall and weighs 270 pounds.
Sounds like a lineman, right?
Not exactly.
He’s Ryan Santoso, a former soccer goalie, turned kicker.
According to the Star Tribune, Santoso, from Pace High School, made a verbal commitment to Minnesota late last month. National signing day is Feb. 6.
Santoso was pretty accurate in his senior season. He was 14-for-17 on field goal attempts, and 29-for-29 on extra point attempts.
He also sent 46 of 49 kickoffs into the end zone.
Big guy. Big foot, as seen in this video clip.
