Gophers receive commitment from 4-star Wisconsin football recruit
A star high school athlete in Minnesota committing to play college sports for the Wisconsin Badgers is all too common, but a Wisconsin native going west to play for the Gophers doesn't seem nearly as common. But the Gophers struck gold with four-star offensive lineman Nathan Roy committing on Saturday.
Roy is 6-foot-5 and 275 pounds. He attends Mukwonago High School in suburban Milwaukee. Roy committed to Minnesota after naming the Gophers, UCLA and Michigan State finalists in his recruiting adventure.
He had also received offers from football powers Ohio State, USC, Wisconsin, Tennessee and more.
Roy's brother, Benjamin, is an offensive lineman at UCLA.
According to 247Sports, Roy is ranked third among high school football recruits in Wisconsin in the Class of 2024.
Roy immediately becomes the highest-rated recruit in Minnesota's 2024 recruiting class, which is currently ranked 10th in the nation, according to 247Sports.
