The Gophers have received a commitment from four-star defensive end Jason Bargy (Momence, Ill.) He chose the Gophers over offers from Iowa State, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan State, Notre Dame and Wisconsin. He has a composite rating of 0.9258, according to 24/7 Sports and is the second ranked player in the state of Illinois. He is ranked 13th among weakside defensive ends. Bargy becomes the ninth commitment in the Gophers’ 2019 class.
Bargy measures in a 6-foot-4, 252 pounds and has an explosive first step. He sheds through blockers by using his natural upper body power and hands very well. He has experience with his hand in the dirt, as a stand-up rusher and even inside on pass rushing downs. Bargy will probably project as a potential "R" rusher if the Gophers elect to stay with the hybrid defensive look. However, he might be the best five-technique. What really stands out his relentless motor and speed to run down the quarterback all over the field. He also sprinted down the field to chase long running plays, catching up with running backs in the third level of the defense. Bargy will occasionally use a long-arm jab to toss an offensive tackle and backs them into the quarterback to force a collapsed pocket. His athletic testing would be very impressive because he even lined up at running back and showed how explosive he is when gets a head of steam downhill. Bargy runs track in high school and recently took first place, finishing with a 11.44 in the 100-meter at 225 pounds. He is still raw as a player, but he has all of the traits to be a very disruptive player at the next level.
This is a major recruiting move by the Gophers, who managed to fend off numerous rivals and quality programs to land a very talented player. He'll team up with Di'von Harris, Chris Daniels and Keonte Schad to create a much-needed talent injection on the Gophers' defensive line for 2019.
