Big Ten football power rankings after spring portal closes: Did Ducks get better?
By Sam Fariss
The Golden Gophers shocked some teams by bringing in commitments from Virginia Tech, Clemson, and Georgia during the April portal.
Tyler Williams, a four-star wide receiver from the Bulldogs, and Adam Kissayi, a three-star edge from the Tigers, were two of the bigger pick-ups for Minnesota from the portal.
However, the Gophers lost seven players to the portal and still have to face some of the top teams in the nation while playing in the Big Ten which is why they fall to No. 16 on this list.
