Toledo dipped into the state of Minnesota for a 2nd time in the 2011 recruiting class, with a commitment from Rosemount High School offensive lineman Joe Bjorklund. The 6-5, 285 pound Bjorklund committed to Toledo head coach Tim Beckman and the Toledo Rockets earlier this evening. Bjorklund joins tight end Colby Kratch, North Dakota State College of Science, but originally from Watertown High School in Watertown, as Minnesota natives in Toledo's 2011 football recruiting class.
Bjorklund chose the Rockets over offers from Wyoming, Northern Iowa, Illinois State, and North Dakota State. Bjorklund has also been receiving interest from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan State, and Iowa.
Minnesota began recruiting Bjorklund when Jerry Kill left Northern Illinois to become the head coach at the Minnesota Golden Gophers. In fact, Bjorklund visited Minnesota last weekend. He then visited North Dakota State yesterday, before deciding to make his commitment to Toledo.
Bjorklund helped lead Rosemount to a 12-1 record this past fall, losing in the Minnesota Class 5A Prep Bowl.
