Ryan Grant was offered a scholarship from Minnesota after visiting the campus on Junior Day in February. Grant completed 61 percent of his passes for 1,431 yards and 22 touchdowns as the Eagles outscored their opponents 546-113.

Grant averaged 9.2 points per game for the 17-9 Eagles basketball team.

Grant was also hearing from Northwestern, Wisconsin, Iowa and Iowa State. He was joined at Junior Day by Eden Prairie teammates Willie Mobley and Carter Bykowski, who the Gophers are also recruiting.
