The Gophers football program found their quarterback in the 2025 Recruiting Class. Jackson Kollock, a 6-foot-3, 225-pounder from Laguna Beach, pledged his allegiance to the Gophers late in March.

He was previously committed to Washington. But changed his mind when coach Kalen DeBoer left for Alabama. Kollock also had scholarship offers from Cal, Oregon State, Washington State, UNLV and others.

Kollock spoke with our Darren ‘Doogie’ Wolfson, via Zoom.
