As we've noted, it's a big weekend for transfer portal players visiting the University of Minnesota and on Sunday the Gophers struck with a commitment from defensive line transfer Steven Curtis.

Curtis is a 6-foot-5 defensive end who has two years of eligibility remaining.

As a sophomore this season for the 10-4 Redbirds, Curtis had four sacks and eight QB hits to go along with 46 tackles, including 5.5 tackles for loss, according to official team stats.

Curtis should have a chance to crack the starting lineup with edge rushers Jah Joyner and Danny Striggow both moving on after their redshirt senior seasons.

The 19-year-old is originally from West Palm Beach, Florida.
