The Gophers football program picked up a commitment from Utah prep receiver Kai Meza on Saturday night.
“Extremely blessed,” Meza wrote in his pledge post on social media.
During his junior year at Corner Canyon High School in Draper, Utah, Meza posted 46 receptions for 944 yards and 13 touchdowns. Corner Canyon is a powerhouse, which won the 6A state championship last season and has produced quarterbacks Zach Wilson (BYU) and Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss).
Meza, who is listed at 6 feet and 175 pounds, had offers from Arkansas, Oklahoma State, Utah, Washington State and others. He is considered a three-star recruit and the 15th best player in the state of Utah, according to 247Sports.
Meza is the seventh pledge to Minnesotas 2026 class and its second receiver beside Rico Blassingame of Tolleson, Ariz.
