Saine received a scholarship offer from the Gophers on April 6 and committed Friday. His other FBS offers came from Arizona State, Army, Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State. He is the third defensive lineman to commit to the Gophers' 2024 class, joining Prior Lake's Jide Abasiri and Riley Sunram of Kindred, N.D.
