The Gophers football program added Indiana prep receiver Corey Smith to its 2024 recruiting class on Wednesday.
Brown, who is listed at 6-foot-1 and 170 pounds, had offers from Illinois, West Virginia and a dozen Group of Five conference schools. The Brownsburg High School product also received interest from Penn State, Notre Dame, Kansas and Purdue. Minnesota was his first scholarship offer from a Power Five program.
“I am very honored to say that I will be committing to the University of Minnesota to play for Coach (P.J.) Fleck and Coach (Matt) Simon,” Smith tweeted.
Brown, who visited the Twin Cities in mid-March, is the sixth pledge in the U’s class for next year. He is also a member of the Brownsburg track and field team, competing in sprints and long jump.
