Brandon says yes to the Golden Gophers
Northview receiver Xzavian Brandon committed to Minnesota Tuesday evening.
“It’s just a great opportunity,” said Brandon, the son of former Atlanta Falcon David Brandon. “The coaches at Minnesota are amazing. They really stress academics and growing up as a person and a man, better than any school I visited. And I visited places like Florida and Mississippi State.
“Academically, it’s one of the top schools in the world. That was a major factor. And I have a great chance to go there and play early and start as a freshman in the Big 10. That’s important to me as well.”
Brandon’s commitment came two days following a trip to Minnesota.
“I visited there this past weekend and got back home on Sunday,” he said. “I was blown away by that place.”
