6.20.25 - Gavin Walden & Matthew Perusse commit

Two Minnesota prep players. Gavin Walden (DL) and Matthew Perusse (OL) who were on official visits with Bulette and Wilkins. I don't think the boom from a week or so ago is known yet.
Anyway, these are two huge commits. Gavin is an animal on the DL and has versatility. Like Thornton committing in 2025, Matthew is another Conner Moore level recruit where you just know he's going to be special. That would make four OL in this class for 2026 which then is stacked on to the 4 from 2025. We are going to be great on the OL for a long time.

This appears to be two Minnesota prep players. One is Gavin Walden (DL) and the other I think is Matthew Perusse (OL) who were on official visits this week at the big man camp. I don't think the boom from a week or so ago is known yet.
Anyway, these are two huge commits if the other is indeed Perusse. Matt Smith did his #DJM post so the other has to be an OL. That would make four in this class for 2026.
I think we may have had another big recruit commit this weekend as well.

Pretty good list of schools after Perusse too. Always good to beat out any Dakota schools. Perusse passed on USD and Walden passed on SDSU.

I know those schools have nice facilities and I'm sure the towns are nice too, but get a kid to Bozeman and see what all it has to offer, it shouldn't even be close. The same goes for Fargo.

Just not as close to home.
