Minnesota Gophers football lands WR Tyler Williams from Georgia
Gophers football coach P.J. Fleck found his new quarterback in the transfer portal and added another potential go-to wide receiver as well with a commitment Tuesday from Georgia’s Tyler Williams.
The 6-3, 205-pound Williams redshirted the 2023 season after playing two games as a reserve for the Bulldogs. He was a consensus four-star and top-100 recruit coming out of Lakeland High School in Florida last year.
Williams, who has four years of eligibility remaining, will join one of the Big Ten’s top transfer classes. Fleck recently landed LSU defensive end and former Cooper standout Jaxon Howard and Clemson defensive end Adam Kissayi. New signal caller Max Brosmer also transferred from New Hampshire.
The Gophers added experience at receiver from the portal. Williams, Penn State transfer Cristian Driver and Emporia State transfer Jaylen Varner are expected to compete in the fall alongside seniors Daniel Jackson and Elijah Spencer and sophomore Le’Meke Brockington.

ATHENS, Ga. – Designated hitter Daniel Jackson and centerfielder Rylan Lujo combined for nine RBI Sunday, leading fifth-ranked Georgia to a 12-1 win over LSU at Foley Field.
Georgia improved to 41-11 overall, 21-6 in the SEC, while LSU dropped to 29-24 overall and 9-18 in conference play.
The Tigers return to action at 6:30 p.m. CT Thursday when they play host to Florida in Game 1 of a three-game SEC series in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field. Thursday’s game will be broadcast on the LSU Sports Radio Network and streamed on SEC Network +.
“Georgia won the moments in this series,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson. “They’re going to score, so you’ve got to capitalize against them when you have scoring opportunities on offense.”
Georgia starting pitcher Caden Aoki (8-0) was the winner, limiting LSU to one run on four hits in 5.0 innings with two walks and seven strikeouts.
LSU right-hander Casan Evans (2-3), making his first appearance since April 17 versus Texas A&M, started the game Sunday and was charged with the loss, working 1.2 innings and allowing four runs on four hits with two walks and three strikeouts.
“I thought Casan’s stuff looked great, and that’s good for him from a health standpoint,” Johnson said. “He’s a guy that the more he pitches, the better he is, so there might have been a little bit of rust, but I thought he competed fine.”
Georgia struck for four runs in the bottom of the second inning in an outburst highlighted by Jackson’s two-out, two-run single and an RBI single by second baseman Ryan Black.
The Tigers narrowed the gap to 4-1 in the third when designated hitter Omar Serna Jr. delivered an RBI single.
Georgia extended its lead to 7-1 in the fourth as Jackson launched a two-run homer and centerfielder Lujo lined a run-scoring single.
Lujo unloaded a grand slam in the fifth, giving the Bulldogs an 11-1 advantage.
