What is happening at the University of Minnesota?

Transfer portal chaos over the weekend saw running back Trent Howland and defensive tackle Jordn Guerad withdraw their commitments to Minnesota, both having announced intentions to transfer to the Gophers less than a week earlier.

Howland de-committed from Minnesota to instead return to Indiana. Guerad, who entered the portal after starring at Florida International, flipped his commitment from Minnesota to Louisville.

“My decision to continue my career as a hoosier had nothing to do with NIL. There were personal issues that led to my commitment to Minnesota that will not be discussed on social media. I am doing what I feel most comfortable with. Respect that!” Howland wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday.

Guerad explained: “I’d like to thank Minnesota for giving me the opportunity to be a part of their program. After talking with my family we have decided to move in a different direction and de-commit.”
