QB Drake Lindsey will return to Gophers for 2026 season
Drake Lindsey resolved his Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreement and will return to lead the Minnesota Gophers after completing 63% of his passes this season.
- This week, Drake Lindsey, Minnesota quarterback, confirmed on the Go Gopher Podcast with host Mike Grimm that he will return for the 2026 season with 'no doubt' about coming back.
- Lindsey said, `I got my stuff done right after the Axe game, so I decided I was gonna obviously come back, and there wasn't any other thought to my mind,` resolving his NIL deal with the Gophers and Dinkytown Athletes.
- This year Lindsey completed 63% of his passes, going 228 for 361 with six interceptions, and had a four-touchdown game at Northwestern plus a six-game stretch with four TDs and four interceptions.
- The move stabilizes Minnesota Gophers roster for 2026 as Lindsey, the biggest building block, signed before National Signing Day and aids transfer portal recruiting, a source says.
- Lindsey said his goal is to elevate the program and play in the NFL, crediting coaching staff Greg Harbaugh, Keegan O'Hara, Eric Koehler, and Matt Simon for his growth before his redshirt sophomore season in 2026.
