College football's early signing period is Wednesday through Friday this week and the Minnesota Golden Gophers could be busy getting signatures as they have 22 recruits verbally committed in the class of 2025.

Ahead of the signing period officially opening, Minnesota's 2025 recruiting class is ranked 44th in the nation by 247Sports. Competing recruiting services On3 and Rivals rank the Gophers 49th and 42nd, respectively.

Using the 247Sports rankings, the Gophers have two incoming four-star recruits, 19 three-star prospect and one unrated commit. Here they are.

The signing period can be wild with some recruits putting pen to paper while others have a change of mind and reopen recruiting or flat out signing with another program.

Remember, this is only the early signing period. National Signing Day isn't until Feb. 5, 2025, so it would be wise to anticipate plenty of moving and shaking over the next couple of months.
