Analysis: Gavin Meier gives Minnesota another athletic tackle

On Wednesday, March 26, 2025, Gavin Meier, a top-ranked three-star offensive lineman from Janesville, Wisconsin, verbally committed to the University of Minnesota Gophers football program.
Meier's commitment strengthens Minnesota's 2025 class, bringing the total number of commitments to six, and showcases the program's ability to recruit effectively against rival Wisconsin Badgers.
The 6-foot-6, 290-pound Meier had scholarship offers from multiple programs, including Wisconsin, Auburn, Indiana, and Northwestern, and visited the U campus this week, with previous visits to Madison and Auburn earlier in the year.
Gavin Meier posted on social media on March 27, 2025 expressing his excitement to play at Huntington Bank Stadium and represent the 'M', committing to give everything to help the program succeed.
Despite planned official visits to Indiana, Wisconsin, and Auburn in May and June, Meier's commitment raises questions about whether he will still attend those visits, and prompts concerns about Wisconsin's ability to retain in-state prospects, especially with other Wisconsin natives committing to Big Ten rivals like Indiana and Iowa.
