Ryan Day picked up his first transfer portal commitment for this cycle, when former Minnesota offensive lineman Phillip Daniels committed to Ohio State Wednesday. The 6-foot-5, 315-pounder will have three years of eligibility remaining.

Daniels helped open holes this season that helped the Gophers amass 1,588 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns and 2,652 passing yards and 18 touchdowns.

His versatility, being able to play both tackle positions, will make him an invaluable asset for Day in Columbus. The belief is that Daniels will be a starter next season.

Daniels committed to the Gophers in 2023 as a three-star prospect in the Rivals 100.
