The Minnesota Golden Gophers’ “Summer Splash” continued into this weekend, with offensive lineman Daniel Shipp becoming the first of five recruits to grab an oar.

Get to know Daniel Shipp

Height: 6’6”
Weight: 275

Power 5 Scholarship Offers: None

247 Sports Composite Rating: N/A

Scouting Report

Shipp missed all of last season due to a knee injury, which is at least part of the reason Minnesota is his only Power 5 as of this writing. There is no denying that he has the right frame, length, and athleticism. Shipp is also light on his feet and can change direction quickly. But he’ll need to stay healthy this fall and prove that he is more than a set of physical tools.
