Minnesota was barely bowl eligible in 2023 and ended with a 6-7 record, but was 3-6 in the Big Ten. The Golden Gophers did more in the spring portal than more of the teams on this list so far. They lost seven players, but they did their best to replace them with four incoming transfers.

The Golden Gophers landed four recruits from power conferences, including 3-star quarterback Dylan Wittke from Virginia Tech. The offensive pair to go with Wittke is Georgia wide receiver transfer Tyler Williams.

Minnesota also added a pair of transfers from Clemson and LSU to round out the spring window. However, they still have a tough 2024 schedule and while they could be better this season, they still probably won't be completely competitive.
