The Gophers have received a commitment from Lakeville North guard/center Nathan Boe. He chose Minnesota over offers from Northern Illinois, Northern Iowa, South Dakota St., and Western Illinois. The 2018 recruiting class now has 17 commitments and is ranked 17th nationally, according to 24/7 Sports.
Boe is a very physical offensive lineman who plays through the whistle on a consistent basis. His mean streak comes through on tape, especially in the running game. He is most successful when he stays low and is exploding with high hands to get inside position. Boe has a tendency to play tall and it gets him into trouble as a pass protector. However, this appears to be a consistency issue. In addition, he doesn't have the lightest footwork and struggles more with speedy interior defensive lineman. This can be addressed as he focuses on the small details at the next level, such as hand placement and footwork. At 6-foot-4, 255 pounds, Boe has perfect size to play inside and needs to be polished in the smaller details of the game. I see him being a developmental project for the future as he continues to evolve from a fundamental standpoint.
