Nimmo, a three-star recruit, posted a statement on X: “After careful consideration and talks with my family, I have decided to decommit from the University of Minnesota. The decision was not made lightly as I have tremendous respect for the Minnesota coaching staff and team. With that being said I am 100% opening up my recruitment.”
A 6-5, 230-pounder, Nimmo is the 41st-ranked 2025 recruit in Ohio and the 48th-ranked tight end nationally in the 247Sports composite ratings of major recruiting services. He has received scholarship offers from 12 other programs, including Illinois and Rutgers of the Big Ten.
Through eight games, Nimmo had 24 receptions for 433 yards and three touchdowns.
Nimmo’s decommitment leaves the Gophers with 22 high school players committed to their 2025 recruiting class.
Gophers’ final home game of season comes against Nittany Lions team in contention for College Football Playoff.
