Gophers Flip RB Jett Walker, OL Beckett Schreiber

Minnesota flipped 6-foot-2, 215-pound running back Jett Walker from West Virginia after an official visit during the Gophers’ weekend win over Michigan State; he had been committed to WVU since April. The three-star back from Georgetown, Texas, has over 5,000 career rushing yards, including a 2024 season of 2,351 yards and 37 TDs (10.83 yards per carry), also runs track (PRs of 11.06/23.05), and said Minnesota’s Big Ten opportunity, culture and staff — including assistant Jayden Everett — sold him on the program; P.J. Fleck will coach him in the Gophers’ offense. TwinCities reports Walker is the 26th commit in Minnesota’s 2026 class and Yahoo lists him as the third running back. Minnesota also flipped 6-foot-5, 280-pound offensive lineman Beckett Schreiber from Washington State, a move TwinCities lists as the 27th commit that helps bolster the line after two other linemen, Daniel McMorris and Mataalii Benjamin, recommitted elsewhere.
