The Gophers football program uses "Summer Splash" to refer to its June recruiting weekends. On Saturday, Coach P.J. Fleck and his staff made a big splash by landing the top-ranked recruit in Wisconsin.

Nathan Roy, a 6-5, 275-pound, four-star offensive tackle from Mukwonago, Wis., announced on Twitter that he has committed to Minnesota to be part of its 2024 recruiting class. Roy committed while making his official visit to the Gophers this weekend.

Roy is rated the No. 1 overall player from Wisconsin and the No. 13-rated offensive tackle nationally in the 247Sports composite rankings of major recruiting services. He is the highest-ranked player in the 2024 class to commit to Minnesota.

He also made official visits to UCLA in May and Michigan State on June 9.

Later Saturday night, the Gophers received a commitment from another tackle on his official visit: Nova Scotia native Mauricio Hinds of Clearwater (Fla.) Academy International. The 6-5, 285-pounder is a three-star recruit in the 247Sports ratings.

Hinds visited Arizona last week. He also had scholarship offers from Charlotte, Duke, Georgia Tech and South Florida, among others.

The two commitments give the Gophers 21 in the 2024 recruiting class, which is ranked No. 11 nationally and fourth among Big Ten teams in the 247Sports composite.
