With the Gophers annual “Summer Splash” recruiting event just over three months away and only more visits getting scheduled, 2025 recruiting is starting to heat up. They currently have zero commits for the class, but dozens of players have announced offers and visits getting set up. Most notably, PJ Fleck has identified a major QB target.
Former Washington commit Jackson Kollock has scheduled a visit to Minnesota for March 28. Other schools he will visit include San Diego State, Cal, Colorado State and Colorado. He is one of seven 2025 QBs to hold an offer from the Gophs, but the first to publicly schedule a visit.
Who is Jackson Kollock
Listed at 6-foot-3, 225 pounds, Kollock resides in Laguna Beach, California playing for Laguna Beach High School. Amidst he junior campaign he verbally committed to Washington on Oct. 23, but when Huskies’ head coach Kalen DeBoer left for Alabama, Kollock de-committed only two days later on Jan. 14.
As a freshman, he attended Rancho Santa Margarita High School, before transferring to Laguna Beach the following year.

Under Fleck, the Gophers have typically added one scholarship QB in every class and in this cycle with only two scholarship signal callers on the current roster, it makes it a pretty significant opportunity to add a talented young player to a pretty shallow position group. Recruiting news and notes can obviously change overnight, but Jackson Kollock is a name to monitor at the QB position for the Maroon & Gold.
