Sims, 6-3 and 195 pounds, received a scholarship offer from Minnesota on Feb. 27, made an unofficial visit to the Gophers on Thursday and attended a Gophers camp last June. He has received offers from 18 other FBS programs, including Power Five schools Indiana, Iowa State, Pittsburgh, Purdue and Boston College.
As a junior last season, Sims caught 24 passes for 429 yards and four touchdowns in eight games. He is the seventh player and second wide receiver to commit to the Gophers for the 2024 recruiting class. Sims does not yet have a star rating in the 247Sport composite rankings of major recruiting services.
Royston, a 2006 Cretin-Derham Hall graduate, spent three years at safety for the Gophers. He later coached at Armstrong High School and Hamline and Temple universities.
