It’s only June, but head coach P.J. Fleck and co. may very well be putting the finishing touches on this recruiting class, with California defensive tackle prospect Lemani Fehoko giving the Gophers their 30th commitment.

Fehoko logged 29 total tackles, 12 tackles for loss, three sacks, and one forced fumble last season. He is not the tallest or longest interior defensive lineman, but he plays with good strength, leverage, and a sturdy base, which allows him to anchor vs. the run and win with a low center of gravity inside. His frame and play style fit the one‑technique/three‑tech mold who can hold point, shed, and finish when he wins early with his hands. At the next level, Fehoko will need to keep refining his pass rush skills beyond initial power, continue to improve pad level and hand usage snap‑to‑snap, and further develop his get‑off, lateral agility, and closing burst.
